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
Add: 1/2(x+4)+1/4(4x−2)
. Answer should be in mixed number form.(1 point)
