Add:1/2 (x+4)+ 1/4 (4x-2). The answer should be in mixed number form

Answer 1

To add the given algebraic expressions, we first need to combine the like terms.

The expression given is 1/2 (x+4)+ 1/4 (4x-2).

First, let's distribute the coefficients to each term inside the parentheses.

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

This simplifies to:

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

Next, let's combine the like terms:

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

This simplifies to:

3/2x + 3/2

So, the sum of the given algebraic expressions is 3/2x + 3/2.
