Question

Simplify 3/4(1/2×-12)+4/5​

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(8)x-(41)/(5)` or
`(3)/(8)x-8\ (1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given the following expression:

`(3)/(4)((1)/(2)x-12)+(4)/(5)`

You can follow these steps in order to simplify it:

1. You need to apply Distributive property:

`=(3)/(8)x-9+(4)/(5)`

2. And now you must add the like terms. Then:

`=(3)/(8)x-(41)/(5)`

Therefore you get the following answer:

`(3)/(8)x-(41)/(5)` or
`(3)/(8)x-8\ (1)/(5)`
