Question

what is the simplified equation for: -6 + 1/4x + 3(1/4x + 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$- 6 + \frac{1}{4} x + 3( \frac{1}{4} x + 6) \\ \\ = - 6 + \frac{1}{4} x + \frac{3}{4} x + 18 \\ \\ = - 6 + x + 18 \\ = x + 12$

Answer 2

Answer:

$= - 6 + \frac{1}{4x} + 3( \frac{1}{4x} + 6) \\ = - 6 + \frac{1}{4x} + \frac{3}{4x} + 18 \\ = 12 + \frac{4}{4x} \\ = 12 + \frac{1}{x} \\ = \frac{12x + 1}{x}$
