Question

Which expression is equivalent to -1/4 x + 1/2?

Answer 1

The expression is given by:

$-\frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{1}{2}$

So we need to find an equivalent equation for this problem. Then, we will apply some mathematical rules:

Extracting the common factor 1/4, then:

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

Or extracting the common factor -1/4, then:

$-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})$

So, comparing these solutions with the answers about, there is no any answer that matches.

Answer 2

The given expression is:

$- \frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{1}{2}$

1/2 can be written as 2 x 1/4 . So the expression becomes:

$- \frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{1}{4}*2$

Taking out 1/4 as common we get:

$\frac{1}{4}(-x+2) \\ \\ or \\ \\ -\frac{1}{4}(x-2)$
