Given the equation:
½x + 3/2
Factor out ½
Solution:
If we factor out ½ from the equation, it means that we are simply dividing ½ to each value inside the equation. Dividing ½ by ½ is equal to 1, whereas dividing 3/2 by ½ is equal to 3. This is due to the fact that we're gonna take the reciprocal of ½ and then multiply it by 3/2
= 3/2 / ½
= (3/2)(½)
= 3
= ½ ( x + 3 )
Final answer:
= ½ ( x + 3 )
