Answer:
5/6x + 5/12 + 20/6
Simplfied
5/6x + 3 3/4
Explanation:
5/6 ( x+ 1/2 + 4)
Distribute
Multiply the term outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses
5/6 ( x) + 5/6 *(1/2) +5/6 *( 4)
5/6x + 5/12 + 20/6
We need to get a common denominator for the constant terms
5/6x + 5/12 + 20/6
5/6x + 5/12 + 40/12
Add
5/6x + 45/12
45/12 is an improper fraction so we can make it a mixed number
12 goes into 45 3 times with 9 left over
3 9/12 which simplified to
3 3 /4
The simplified expression is
5/6x + 3 3/4
