Which sum or difference is equivalent to the following expression? 2x+3 over 4
The expression 2x + 3 over 4 can be expressed as the sum of (2x/4) + (3/4).
The expression 2x+3/4 can be written as the sum of two separate terms.
To express this expression as a sum or difference, we can rewrite it as (2x/4) + (3/4).
Simplifying further, we have x/2 + 3/4.
Therefore, the expression 2x+3/4 is equivalent to the sum x/2 + 3/4.
To find a sum or difference equivalent to the expression (2x + 3) / 4, we can distribute the division operation by multiplying both terms inside the parentheses by 1/4:
(2x + 3) / 4 = (2x/4) + (3/4).
Simplifying further, we have:
(2x/4) + (3/4) = x/2 + 3/4.
Therefore, an equivalent sum or difference to the given expression is x/2 + 3/4.
