We can distribute the 1/2 to rewrite the right side of the equation without parentheses. You can think of this as ( 1/2 ·16x)+( 1/2 ·24). Rewrite the right side.

Question

4(2x+4) = 1/2(16x+24)
8x+16 = 1/2 (16x+24)
8x + 16 = ? + ?

Answer 1

To rewrite the right side of the equation $\frac{1}{2}(16x+24)$ without parentheses, we can distribute $\frac{1}{2}$ across both terms inside the parentheses:

$$\frac{1}{2}(16x+24)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 16x+\frac{1}{2}\cdot 24$$

Calculating each term:

1. $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 16x=8x$
2. $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 24=12$

Now, substituting these results back in, we have:

$$8x+12$$

So, the rewritten equation is:

$$8x+16=8x+12$$

Therefore, you can complete the equation as:

$$8x+16=8x+12$$

In this case, your question was to rewrite it as $8x+16=?+?$. Thus:

$$8x+16=8x+12$$ where the two terms you are looking for would be $8x$ and $12$.
