Simplify this expression.

(3x+1/2) + (7x-4 1/2)

How do you this? Thanks.

You're welcome.

Also it's 7x minus 4 and an 1/2

If you are confused about the other equation

(3x+1/2) + (7x-4 1/2)

10x - 4

THANKS YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER

question: how did you get the number 4? I understood how you got 10x but how did you get the number 4? Help me

-4 1/2 + 1/2 = -4

kk thanks

To simplify the given expression, we will first combine like terms.

Step 1: Distribute the signs within the parentheses:
(3x + 1/2) + (7x - 4 1/2)

Step 2: Combine the like terms by adding the coefficients of x and the constant terms separately:
(3x + 7x) + (1/2 - 4 1/2)

Step 3: Simplify within each set of parentheses:
10x + (-3)

Step 4: Combine like terms:
10x - 3

So, the simplified expression is 10x - 3.

To perform this process, follow these steps:
1. Distribute any signs within the parentheses.
2. Combine the like terms within each set of parentheses.
3. Combine the like terms obtained from each set of parentheses.
