Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

1/4(12+8x)

Answer 1

3+2x

Explanation:

Distribute the equation out.

1/4(12+8x)

(1/4*12)+(1/4*8x)

Multiple those out to get a new equation

3+2x

You cannot add those together because of the variable. Theres no way of knowing what x equals so this is as far as you can go therefor making the answer 3+2x
