1/2(x+4) + 1/4(4x-2) simplifies to:

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

Combining like terms, we have:

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

This further simplifies to:

2/4x + 1/4x + 3/2

Combining the x terms, we get:

6/4x + 3/2

Simplifying further, we have:

3/2x + 3/2

This can be written as a mixed number by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (2):

1 and 1/2x + 3/2
