Hi, can you help me with a math problem kbin? It’s algebra, and it’s been a long time since I’ve had to do it. Can you explain to me how simplifying the terms comes out to 9/2 in the pictured equation please?

    x+3x = 4x

    4x+(1/2)x = 4.5x

    You could write that as

    (4.5/1)x

    And that times 2

    4.5×2 = 9 1×2 = 2

    So you have

    (9/2)x
