Answer:

Explanation:

Original equation:

7/2x - 3(5x - 1/2) = ?

Use distributive property for the parentheses

-3 · 5x = -15x

-3 · (-1/2) = 3/2 or 1.5

Plug these values into the equation

7/2x - 15x + 1.5 = ?

Combine like factors

-11.5x + 1.5 = a (a = answer)

The equation with fractions:

-11 1/2 + 1 1/2 = a

Hope this helps :)
