To solve this equation and present the answer as a mixed number, we need to simplify the expression first.
1/2(x+4) + 1/4(4x-2)
Using the distributive property, we can distribute the fractions:
= 1/2 * x + 1/2 * 4 + 1/4 * 4x - 1/4 * 2
= (1/2)x + 2/2 + (4/4)x - 2/4
Simplifying the fractions, we have:
= (1/2)x + 1 + x - 1/2
Now, let's combine like terms:
= (1/2)x + x - 1/2 + 1
= (3/2)x - 1/2 + 2/2
= (3/2)x + 1/2
The equation in fraction form is (3/2)x + 1/2.
To present it as a mixed number, we can convert the fraction into a mixed number. The fraction (3/2) can be expressed as 1 1/2.
Thus, the answer in mixed number form is 1 1/2x + 1/2.
