Question

3 over 4 open parentheses 1 half x space minus space 12 close parentheses space plus space 4 over 5

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:

$\frac {3} {4} (\frac {1} {2} x-12) + \frac {4} {5}$

Rewriting the expression we have:

We apply distributive property to the terms of parentheses:

$\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {36} {4} + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x-9 + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}$

Answer:

$\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}$
