Question

Simplify the following expression.1/2 (22m + 30)The other way (same problem):$\frac{1}{2} (22m + 30)$

Answer 1

The expression is:

$\frac{1}{2}(22m+30)$

To simplify, we will use the distributive property, which says:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac_{}$

So, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}(22m+30) \\ =\frac{1}{2}(22m)+\frac{1}{2}(30) \\ =11m+15 \end{gathered}$
