You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-0.5x)-0.5(x-0.5x), Don't I get rid of the -0.5x(x-0.5) by mulpyling first?
---
Yes, you do.
----------
Or you can factor:
(x-0.5x)[1-0.5]
----
= (x-0.5x)(0.5)
----
= 0.5x-0.25x
---
= 0.25x
===================
OR you could do the following:
(x-0.5x)-0.5(x-0.5x)
---
= 0.5x-0.5(0.5x)
----
= 0.5x-0.25x
---
= 0.25x
=================
