1/2 (x + 4) + 1/4 (4x - 2)

I think that the answer is 1 1/2 + 1.50

1 answer

To simplify the expression 1/2 (x + 4) + 1/4 (4x - 2), we can start by distributing the coefficients inside the parentheses:

1/2 (x + 4) + 1/4 (4x - 2) = (1/2) * x + (1/2) * 4 + (1/4) * 4x + (1/4) * (-2)

Simplifying further, we have:

= (1/2) * x + 2/2 + (1/4) * 4x - (1/4) * 2

= (1/2) * x + 2/2 + (1 * x) - (1/2)

= (1/2) * x + 1 + x - (1/2)

To combine like terms, we can add the coefficients of x:

= (1/2 + 1) * x + (1 + (-1/2))

= (3/2) * x + 1/2

Therefore, the simplified expression is (3/2) * x + 1/2.

It is not equal to 1 1/2 + 1.50, as they represent different forms of the expression.
