Question

How would you do this problem 1/4 (8-6x+20)

Answer 1

So to do this question, first rearrange the numerals n the parenthesis.


`(1)/(4)` (8 + 20 - 6x)

`(1)/(4)` (28 - 6x)

Now, distribute the
`(1)/(4)` into the parenthesis.

`(28)/(4)` -
`(6x)/(4)`
7 -
`(6x)/(4)`


`- (6x)/(4) = -1.5x`

7 - 1.5x

Answer 2

distribute 1/4 by multiplying it by 8, -6X and 20 you end up with
1/4times8=2
1/4times-6x= -1.5x
1/4times20=5
so 2-1.5x+5
add 2 and 5 to get 7
the answer is -1.5x+7
