SOLUTION: I've been trying to simplify the following expression and keep missing a step while doing so. Can you please assist me? Thank you!
1/2(3x + 2)- 1/4(3x - 2)=
[{{(1/2)*3x}
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (1/2)(3x + 2)- (1/4)(3x - 2)
---
= (3/2)x + 1 -(3/4)x + (1/2)
----------------------------------
= (6/4)x + 1 -(3/4)x + (1/2)
---
= (3/4)x + (3/2)
======================

[{{(1/2)*3x} + {(1/2)*(2/1)}} + {-1{{(1/4)*3x}-{(1/4)*2}}}]= expand the equation
remember that subtracting a whole equation is same thing as adding a negative one in each when expanding. keep the subtract sign or negative consistant thruout the equations
[{(3x/2)+(2/2)} + {-1{(3x/4)-(2/4)}}]= same things here. now multiply out the fractions. keeps all sign consistent
[{(3x/2+1)} + {-1*(3x/4)}-{(-1)*(1/2)}}]=now the negative one is multiply out
