What is the result after distributing? 1/4(2x−4)=14 the answers are : 1/2x-1=14

1/4 +2x=14+4
1/4 (-2x) = 14
2x -4 = 14 x 1/4

1 answer

To solve the equation 14(2x4)=14 through distribution, you need to distribute 14 to both terms inside the parentheses.

Here's how it is done step by step:

  1. Distribute 14: 14(2x)14(4)=14

  2. Perform the multiplications: 142x=24x=12x 144=1

  3. Substitute back into the equation: 12x1=14

So, after distributing, the result is: 12x1=14

The first option you provided — 12x1=14 — is the correct distribution result. The other options are not correct representations of the equation after distributing.
