Question

Create an equivalent expression by simplifying the expression below.

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- $\frac{1}{2}$ [ - $\frac{3}{2}$ c + 6c + 1 ] - 3c

Distribute the square bracket by - $\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$ c - 3c - $\frac{1}{2}$ - 3c ← combine like terms

= $\frac{3}{4}$ c - 6c - $\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$ c - $\frac{24}{4}$ c - $\frac{1}{2}$

= - $\frac{21}{4}$ c - $\frac{1}{2}$
