Question

Simplify the equation-1/4 (3g - 6 - 5g)

Answer 1

We are given the following expression to simplify

`-(1)/(4)(3g-6-5g​)`

Step 1:

Simplify the parenthesis first

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(4)(3g-5g-6​) \\ -(1)/(4)(-2g-6​) \end{gathered}`

Step 2:

Expand the parenthesis, multiply -1/4 with each term inside the parenthesis.

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(4)(-2g-6) \\ (-(1)/(4)*-2g)+(-(1)/(4)*-6) \\ ((2g)/(4))+((6)/(4)) \\ (g)/(2)+(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, this is the simplified expression.

`(g)/(2)+(3)/(2)`

Please note that it may also be written in the following form.

`(1)/(2)(g+3)`
