Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Original equation:
7/2x - 3(5x - 1/2) = ?
Use distributive property for the parentheses
-3 · 5x = -15x
-3 · (-1/2) = 3/2 or 1.5
Plug these values into the equation
7/2x - 15x + 1.5 = ?
Combine like factors
-11.5x + 1.5 = a (a = answer)
The equation with fractions:
-11 1/2 + 1 1/2 = a
Hope this helps :)
