I have 5 math questions for algebraic expressions, the first one i 1/4 (8x + 16), the second is 1/3 (3p + 12), The third is 1/2 (14k - 10), the 4th is 1/8 (8a - 24), and the last one is 1/2 (4p + 1)

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first function is
(1)/(4)(8x+16)

You probably want to expand so we need to apply the distributive property:

This implies that:


(1)/(4)(8x+16)=(1)/(4)*8x+(1)/(4)*16


\implies (1)/(4)(8x+16)=2x+4

The second function is
(1)/(3)(3p+12).

We again apply the distributive property to get:


(1)/(3)(3p+12)=(1)/(3)*3p+(1)/(3)*12


\implies (1)/(3)(3p+12)=p+4

The third one is
(1)/(2)(14k-10)

We expand using the distributive property to get:


(1)/(2)(14k-10)=(1)/(2)*14k-(1)/(2)*10


\implies (1)/(2)(14k-10)=7k-5

The fourth is
(1)/(8)(8a-24)

We expand to get:


(1)/(8)(8a-24) =(1)/(8)*8a-(1)/(8)*24


(1)/(8)(8a-24) =a-3

The fifth one is
(1)/(2)(4p+1)

Expand to get:


(1)/(2)(4p+1)=(1)/(2)*4p+(1)/(2)*1


(1)/(2)(4p+1)=2p+(1)/(2)
