To simplify the expression, we first distribute the fractions:

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

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

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

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

Now, we can combine like terms:

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

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

In mixed number form, this can be written as:

1 1/2 x + 1/2

Apologies for the mistake. Let's simplify the expression correctly.

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

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

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

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

Now, let's combine like terms:

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

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

In mixed number form, this can be written as:

1 1/2 x + 1/2

Apologies for the previous mistakes. Let's simplify the expression correctly this time.

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

To simplify, we distribute the fractions:

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

= 1/2x + 2/2 + 4/4x - 2/4

Next, we can combine like terms:

= 1/2x + 1 + x/1 - 1/2

= 1/2x + x/1 + 1 - 1/2

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

To add the fractions (1/2x) and (x/1), we need a common denominator which is 2x:

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

= 3x/2x + 1 - 1/2

Simplifying further:

= 3/2 + 1 - 1/2

To combine the mixed numbers and fractions, we need a common denominator which is 2:

= (3 + 2 - 1)/2

= 4/2

Finally, we can simplify the fraction:

= 2

Therefore, the simplified expression is 2 in mixed number form.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the expression correctly this time.

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

To simplify, we distribute the fractions:

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

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

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

Next, let's combine like terms:

= x/2 + 1 + x - 1/2

To add the mixed numbers and fractions, we need a common denominator which is 2:

= x/2 + 2/2 + 2x/2 - 1/2

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

= (3x + 1)/2

Therefore, the simplified expression in mixed number form is (3x + 1)/2.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's simplify the expression correctly this time.

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

To simplify, we distribute the fractions:

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

= x/2 + 4/2 + 4x/4 - 2/4

= x/2 + 2 + x/2 - 1/2

Next, let's combine like terms:

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

= 2x/2 + 2 - 1/2

= x + 2 - 1/2

To combine the whole number and fraction, we need a common denominator which is 2:

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

= (2x + 4 - 1)/2

= (2x + 3)/2

Therefore, the simplified expression in mixed number form is (2x + 3)/2.
