Question

I will give Brainliest Simplify. 1/4(16a – 46) – (2a – 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

2a+ −11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

1/4 (16a − 46) − (2a − 6)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

= 1/4 (16a − 46) + −1 (2a − 6)

= 1/4 (16a − 46) + −1 (2a) + (−1) (−6)

= 1/4 (16a − 46) + −2a + 6

Distribute:

= (1/4) (16a) + (1/4) (−46) + −2a + 6

=4a + −23/2 + −2a + 6

Combine Like Terms:

= 4a + −23/2 + −2a + 6

= (4a + −2a) + (−23/2 + 6)

= 2a + −11/2

Answer:

=2a + −11/2

hope this helps. p.s. i really need brainliest :)

Answer 2

Answer:

2a - 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(16a - 46) - (2a - 6)

Use the distributive property to multiply 1/4 by 16a−46.

1/4 * 16a + 1/4(-46) - (2a - 6)

4a - 11.5 - (2a - 6)

To find the opposite of 2a - 6, find the opposite of each term.

4a - 11.5 - 2a -(-6)

4a - 11.5 - 2a + 6

Combine 4a and -2a to get 2a.

2a - 11.5 + 6

Add 6 to -11.5 to get -5.5

2a - 5.5

1/4(16a - 46) - (2a - 6) simplified is 2a - 5.5.
