Question

Expand the expression 1/2(4t-10)

Answer 1

Hello there! Hope I can help!


`\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}: \:a\cdot (b)/(c)=(a\:\cdot \:b)/(c) \ \textgreater \ (1\cdot \left(4t-10\right))/(2)`


`\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:1\cdot \:a=a \ \textgreater \ (4t-10)/(2)`


`4t-10 \ \textgreater \ Rewrite \ \textgreater \ 2\cdot \:2t-2\cdot \:5 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Factor\:out\:common\:term\:}2`

`2\left(2t-5\right)`


`(2\left(2t-5\right))/(2) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:(2)/(2)=1 \ \textgreater \ 2t-5`

Hope this helps!
