Question

Writin response 1/2(x+y)

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(2)x + (1)/(2)y`

Explanation:

1. We have to recognize that this problem wants 1/2 to be distributed into two variables, both x and y.
2. By distributing, we are essentially multiplying 1/2 by whatever is in this parentheses, essentially combining them together.
3. When done with both variables we are left with:
   `(1)/(2)x + (1)/(2)y`
4. Since there are no present like terms to combine these remaining numbers, this is our final answer.
