so whats the clear answer
Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve this equation in mixed form, we need to simplify it step by step:

First, let's distribute the fractions:
1/2(x + 4) + 1/4(4x - 2) = 1/2 * x + 1/2 * 4 + 1/4 * 4x - 1/4 * 2

Simplifying the fractions:
= 1/2 * x + 2 + 1x - 1/2

Combining like terms:
= 1/2 * x + 1x + 2 - 1/2

Multiplying the fractions by their respective denominators:
= (1/2 * x * 2/2) + (1x * 2/2) + (2 * 2/2) - (1/2 * 2/2)

Simplifying further:
= (x/2) + (2x/2) + (4/2) - (1/2)

Combining like terms:
= (x + 2x + 4 - 1) / 2

= (3x + 3) / 2

Therefore, the answer in mixed form is (3x + 3) / 2.
