what is 2+(2+h)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its nothing.just the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you could simplify it a little further by distributing the (1/2) and then grouping like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can it be simplified as 4+h/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 6 + h/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is not 4+h/2. Nor is it 6+h/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1337224824157:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, well (6+h)/2 I can get down with, but it's not the neatest way to write it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did the 6 come from :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just cross multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i'm trying to simplify it in the simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pateice, you can do this: \[2 + \frac{2+h}{2} = 2+ \frac{2}{2} + \frac{h}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of it as distributing the /2
