Question

How would you do this problem 1/4 (8-6x+20)

Answer 1

So to do this question, first rearrange the numerals n the parenthesis.

$\frac{1}{4}$ (8 + 20 - 6x)
$\frac{1}{4}$ (28 - 6x)

Now, distribute the $\frac{1}{4}$ into the parenthesis.
$\frac{28}{4}$ - $\frac{6x}{4}$
7 - $\frac{6x}{4}$

$- \frac{6x}{4} = -1.5x$

7 - 1.5x

Answer 2

Distribute 1/4 by multiplying it by 8, -6X and 20 you end up with 
1/4times8=2
1/4times-6x= -1.5x
1/4times20=5
so 2-1.5x+5
add 2 and 5 to get 7
the answer is -1.5x+7
