Answer:

1/4x (8 x - 15)

Explanation:

write the division as a fraction

1/2x + 3/2x (x - 5 ÷ 2)

factor out 1/2 from the expression.

1/2x(x + 3(x - 5 ÷ 2))

divide the numbers.

1/2x(x + 3(x - 2.5))

distribute 3 through the parentheses.

1/2x(x + 3x - 7.5)

collect like terms.

1/2x(4x - 7.5)

1/2x(4x - 15/2)

factor out 1/2 from the expression.

1/2 x 1/2 x (8 x - 15)

multiply the fractions

= 1/4 x (8x - 15)

or alternative form

= 0.25(8x - 15)
