Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Simplify your answer as much as possible.
1/2(8v+5)

Answer 1

Explanation:

if there is nothing wrong or missing, then I read

1/2 × (8v + 5)

this is then

1/2 × 8v + 1/2 × 5 = 8v/2 + 5/2 = 4v + 5/2

in case you need to use decimal numbers this is

4v + 2.5
