thank you if you are willing to help

Answer 1

c) x+4

Explanation:

1. The original expression can be re-written as (I just rewrote each fraction so that there are no mixed numbers):

`(x)/(2)+(9)/(2)+(x)/(2)-(1)/(2)`

2. Next, you want to group all the terms with the variable x, and all the terms without a variable. All the fractions should be rearranged:

`(x)/(2)+(x)/(2)+(9)/(2)-(1)/(2)`

3. You can now simplify and add the variable terms and the non-variable terms.

`(x+x)/(2)+(9-1)/(2)`

Simplify further:

`(2x)/(2)+(8)/(2)`

`x+4`

So your answer is choice c

Answer 2

answer:c (x+4). you just combine like terms and then add everything together
