Question

1/5(3x+1/2) Whats the expanded form of this expression.

Answer 1

`(1)/(5)(3x+(1)/(2) )=(3x)/(5)+(1)/(10)`

Solution:

Given expression is
`(1)/(5)(3x+(1)/(2) )`.

Let us find the expanded form of the given expression.

To expand this multiply
`(1)/(5)` with each term inside the bracket.

`(1)/(5)(3x+(1)/(2) )=(1)/(5)*3x+(1)/(5)*(1)/(2)`

`=(3x)/(5)+(1)/(10)`

`(1)/(5)(3x+(1)/(2) )=(3x)/(5)+(1)/(10)`

Hence the expanded form of the given expression is
`(3x)/(5)+(1)/(10)`.
