can someone please explain to me how to find the answer------
Simplify 1/4(g − 16)

Answer 1

We have
\[\frac 14 (g-16)\]
just multiply both terms by 1/4
you'd get
\[\frac g 4- \frac{16}{4}\]
Could you simplify now?

Answer 2

it's outside the bracket, when I open it, I've to multiply the terms inside by 1/4
\[A(B+C)=A\times B+A\times C\]
