Question

Simplify the following expression 1/4 (24-16x)

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{4} (24-16x)$

$\frac{1}{4} (24)- \frac{1}{4} (16x)$

$\frac{1}{4}* \frac{24}{1} - \frac{1}{4} * \frac{16x}{1}$

$\frac{24}{4} - \frac{16x}{4}$

$6 - 4x$

$-4x+6\ \textless \ -answer$

Answer 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}(24-16x)\\\\use\ the\ distributive\ property:\ a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot24-\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot16x=\dfrac{24}{4}-\dfrac{16x}{4}=\huge\boxed{6-4x}$
