Which expression is equivalent to

Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{2} x[/tex] - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (2+ 3x -6)
1/2(3x-4)
3/2x - 2
You do the parentheses first because of PEDMAS. So 1 combined the 2 and the -6.
Answer:
The first answer (3/2x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to multiply 1/2 by 2 which gives you 1. then when you multiply 1/2 by 3, you can't make it a whole number, so you make it a fraction and it then becomes 3/2x. Lastly, you do 1/2 times -6 which gives you -3. The equation goes from 1/2(2+3x-6) to then 1+3/2x-3. Since 1 and 3 can be subtracted because they're both whole numbers, you do 1-6 which gives you -5. The answer then becomes 3/2x -5
