I understand that you're feeling stressed, but I'm here to help you. Let's solve the given expression step by step:
We are given the expression: 1/2(x + 4) + 1/4(4x - 2)
First, let's simplify the expression within the parentheses:
1/2(x) + 1/2(4) + 1/4(4x) - 1/4(2)
Now, distribute the coefficients:
(x/2) + (4/2) + (4x/4) - (2/4)
Simplify the fractions:
(x/2) + 2 + x - (1/2)
Combine like terms:
x/2 + x + 2 - 1/2
Now, convert all the fractions to have a common denominator, which is 2:
[(x + 2) - 1]/2
Combine the numerator terms:
(x + 2 - 1)/2
Simplify further:
(x + 1)/2
Thus, the simplified expression is: (x + 1)/2.
Hi add:1/2(x +4)+1/4(4x-2)
Please hurry!
I have overdue assignments and I'm stressed

My apologies for the confusion. Here are some additional options for simplifying the expression:
Option 1: Distribute the coefficients before simplifying:
1/2(x) + 1/2(4) + 1/4(4x) - 1/4(2)
(x/2) + (4/2) + (4x/4) - (2/4)
(x/2) + 2 + x/4 - 1/2
Option 2: Combine the like terms within each fraction first:
1/2(x/1 + 4/1) + 1/4(4x/1 - 2/1)
1/2(5x/2) + 1/4(4x/1 - 1/2)
Option 3: Combine the numerators before simplifying:
(x + 4)/2 + (4x - 2)/4
(2(x + 4) + 1(4x - 2))/4
Remember, whichever option you choose, you can simplify the expression further by combining like terms and simplifying fractions if possible.

(2(x + 4) + 1(4x - 2))/4
Remember, whichever option you choose, you can simplify the expression further by combining like terms and simplifying fractions if possible.
answer in mixed number form
Apologies for the confusion. To express the result in mixed number form:
Given the expression: (x + 1)/2
Unfortunately, it is not possible to simplify this expression into a mixed number because there is no specific value of "x" given. The expression (x + 1)/2 represents a fraction where the numerator is the sum of "x" and 1, and the denominator is 2. Without knowing the value of "x," we cannot simplify it any further.
If you have a specific value for "x," please provide it so that I can help you simplify the expression.

it's just a variable
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Since "x" is just a variable, we cannot simplify the expression further into a mixed number form. The expression (x + 1)/2 remains as it is without further simplification.
help you don't need to know the variable!!
Apologies for the confusion. Without a specific value for the variable "x," we cannot simplify the expression into a specific mixed number form. However, I can rewrite the expression in a mixed number form using a placeholder value.
Let's assume "x" equals 3. Then the expression (x + 1)/2 becomes (3 + 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.
So, with the assumed value of "x" as 3, the expression simplifies to the mixed number form of 2.
Remember, this is based on assuming a value for "x." The expression (x + 1)/2 cannot be simplified into a mixed number form without knowing the value of "x."
