Answer:
4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this 2 terms, we'll have to first identify if we have to distribute anything.
Since 10 - 4x is inside a parenthesis and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is beside that, we know that we'll have to distribute the expression.
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (10 - 4x) = [tex]-\frac{10}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]x = -5 + 2x.
Then, combine like terms:
2x - 5 + 2x = 4x - 5.
Remember, the coefficient always goes before the constant.
Your answer should be 4x - 5.
