Can you please show me step by step to the answer you have given me. -1/4(8x+2). I still do not understand how you came up with the answer.
Thank yooi
open d bracket
-2x-1/2
turn it int an eqn by equating to zero
-2x-1/2=0
make x subject of formula
-2x=1/2
divide through by -2
x=0.5/-2
x=0.25
hope its clearer
Thank you soo much. I understand now. Have a wonderful weekend.

Of course! I can help explain how to simplify the expression -1/4(8x+2) step by step.
Step 1: Distribute the -1/4 to each term inside the parentheses.
-1/4 * 8x = -8x/4 = -2x
-1/4 * 2 = -2/4 = -1/2
Step 2: Rewrite the simplified terms.
-1/4(8x+2) = -2x - 1/2
So, -1/4(8x+2) simplifies to -2x - 1/2.
Please let me know if you have any further questions!
