Question

1/2 (14x - 2) - 1/4 (-4x - 24)

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplified value of the given linear expression is 8 x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The linear expression is

$\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (14 x - 2) - $\dfrac{1}{4}$ × ( - 4 x - 24 )

Now, Simplifying the equation

taking common 2 and 4

$\dfrac{1}{2}$ ×[ 2× (7 x - 1)] - $\dfrac{1}{4}$ ×[4× ( - x - 6 )]

Or, $\dfrac{2}{2}$ ×[(7 x - 1)] - $\dfrac{4}{4}$ ×[( - x - 6 )]

Or, 1 ×[(7 x - 1)] - 1 ×[( - x - 6 )]

Or, 7 x - 1 + x + 6

Or, (7 x + x) + ( - 1 + 6)

Or, 8 x + ( 5)

Or, 8 x + 5

So, The simplified value of the given linear expression is 8 x + 5 . Answer
