Question

Hi, I have I math problem that I need help on
Answer
what is: 1/2(x+4)
Answer
can you make that a mixed number or no?
Answer
oh. I don't have that information.
do you know what 1/2(4x - 2) is?
Answer
Nice! I'm guessing you can't turn that into a mixed number so, can you add the two answers together please!?
Answer
(5/2)x + 1
can it be turned into a mixed number?

The expression 1/2(x+4) represents an algebraic equation. To simplify it, we can distribute the 1/2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

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

This simplifies to:

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

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression 1/2(x+4) is (1/2)x + 2.

Sure! To convert the expression (1/2)x + 2 to a mixed number, we need more information about the value of x. If x is an actual number or variable with a specific value, then we can evaluate the expression.

For example, if x = 4, then we have:

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

However, if we do not have a specific value for x, we cannot simplify the expression into a mixed number since it involves a variable. The expression (1/2)x + 2 remains as it is until we have more information to evaluate it.

Certainly! We can simplify the expression 1/2(4x - 2) by using the distributive property and multiplying 1/2 by each term inside the parentheses:

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

This simplifies to:

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

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression 1/2(4x - 2) is 2x - 1.

Certainly, we can add the two expressions together:

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

To add these expressions, we need to combine the like terms. In this case, we have "x" terms and constant terms:

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

Combining the x terms and the constant terms, we have:

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

Simplifying further, we have:

(1/2 + 2)x + 1 = (5/2)x + 1

Therefore, the sum of the expressions (1/2x + 2) and (2x - 1) is (5/2)x + 1.

The expression (5/2)x + 1 cannot be turned into a mixed number because it involves a variable, "x". Mixed numbers are used for representing whole numbers along with fractions, not variables. Therefore, (5/2)x + 1 is already in its simplest form and cannot be converted into a mixed number.
