Question 61982
{{{ (1/4)(20+16) }}}
Since you have to use the distributive property for this ... we will work the RIGHT side first, then will work the LEFT side by PEMDAS.
{{{ (1/4)(20+16) = (1/4)(20) + (1/4)(16) }}}
{{{ (1/4)(20+16) = (5) + (4) }}}
{{{ (1/4)(20+16) = 9 }}}
Now the left side
{{{ (1/4)(20+16) = 9 }}}
{{{ (1/4)(36) = 9 }}}
{{{ 9 = 9 }}}
