To simplify the expression 1/2(x+4)+14(4x−2), we can start by distributing the 14 to both terms inside the parentheses:
1/2(x+4) + 14(4x−2)
= 1/2(x) + 1/2(4) + 14(4x) - 14(2)
Simplifying each term:
= 1/2x + 2/2 + 56x - 28
Since 2/2 simplifies to 1, we can write:
= 1/2x + 1 + 56x - 28
Now, we can combine the like terms:
= 1/2x + 56x + 1 - 28
= (1/2 + 56)x - 27
Finally, combining the fractions:
= (57/2)x - 27
Therefore, 1/2(x+4)+14(4x−2) simplifies to (57/2)x - 27.
