1/4 x − 36?

To determine an expression equivalent to \( \frac{1}{4}x - 36 \), we can factor out the common term or manipulate the expression. Here are a few options that maintain the equivalence:

  1. Multiply the entire expression by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 4 \left( \frac{1}{4}x - 36 \right) = x - 144. \]

  2. If we wanted to rewrite the expression while keeping it in terms of \( x \): \[ \frac{1}{4}x - 36 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 144). \] This shows that the expression is also equivalent to a factored form.

If you have specific options to choose from, please share them, and I can help you identify which one is equivalent!
