Exercise 58 Page 496

Recall the Distributive Property.

1.5c+4

Practice makes perfect
We will begin simplifying by distributing the 0.25 to the terms inside the parentheses.
0.25(6c+16)
1/4(6c+16)
1/4* 6c+1/4* 16
6/4c+16/4
3/2c+16/4
3/2c+4
1.5c+4
Since 1.5c and 4 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
