• 12x

Multiple Choice

Simplify the expression: $$\frac{1}{2}\left(4x\ -8\right)$$  

• 8x - 16

• 2x - 4

• 2x + 4

• 4x - 4

​Example: x(3.4 - 2y)

Multiple Choice

Simplify: 3(0.5x - y)

• 1.5x - 3y

• 3.5x - 3y

• 1.5x + 3y

• 1.5x - y

Multiple Choice

Simplify: $$\frac{1}{4}x\left(8y\ -\ 2z\right)$$  

• 2xy - 0.5z

• 2xy - 0.5xz
