Solve x-1/4(4x+12)+(-0125)

$$x - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( 4 x + 12 ) + ( - 0125 )$$

Evaluate

$$-3$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{1}{4} by 4x+12.

$$x-\frac{1}{4}\times 4x-\frac{1}{4}\times 12+0\times 125$$

Cancel out 4 and 4.

$$x-x-\frac{1}{4}\times 12+0\times 125$$

Express -\frac{1}{4}\times 12 as a single fraction.

$$x-x+\frac{-12}{4}+0\times 125$$

Divide -12 by 4 to get -3.

$$x-x-3+0\times 125$$

Combine x and -x to get 0.

$$-3+0\times 125$$

Multiply 0 and 125 to get 0.

$$-3+0$$

Add -3 and 0 to get -3.

$$-3$$

Factor

$$-3$$
