Answer: Required expression:
\frac14*(18+16)

Result:
(17)/(2)

Explanation:

Given phrase:

Required expression:
\frac14*(18+16) ['+' used to express sum, 'x' used in place of 'of']

Since 18+16 = 34

Then,


\frac14*(18+16)=\frac14*34 \\\\=(1)/(2)*17\ \ \text{[Divide numerator and denominator by 2]}\\\\=(17)/(2)

Hence,
\frac14*(18+16)=(17)/(2).
