Simplify 1/4(g − 16) The answer I got was 1/4 g-4 Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. If the (g-16) is in the denominator as it appears to be in your problem, you must remember to distribute the 4 to each term in the parentheses. You only distributed it to the "g".

oh ok.. What should it have been?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I have a awful time understanding math!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's see what you come up when you multiply each term inside the parentheses by 4.
