1/2 * (x + 4) + 1/4 * (4x - 2) can be simplified as follows:
1/2 * (x + 4) + 1/4 * (4x - 2) = (1/2)x + (1/2)*4 + (1/4)*4x + (1/4)*(-2)
= (1/2)x + 2 + x + (-1/2)
= (1/2)x + x + 2 - 1/2
= (3/2)x + 2 - 1/2
= (3/2)x + 4/2 - 1/2
= (3/2)x + 3/2
Hence, the simplified expression in mixed number form is 1 1/2.
Add: 1/2 * (x + 4) + 1/4 * (4x - 2)
Answer should be in mixed number form. (1 point)
