Q. Simplify the expression. Write your answers using integers or improper fractions.\newline12(32q5q5)3q \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2} q-5 q-5\right)-3 q \newlineAnswer:
  1. Write Expression: Write down the expression to be simplified.\newline(12)((32)q5q5)3q(\frac{1}{2})((\frac{3}{2})q - 5q - 5) - 3q
  2. Distribute (1/2)(1/2): Distribute the (1/2)(1/2) across the terms inside the parentheses.\newline(1/2)(3/2)q(1/2)(5q)(1/2)(5)3q(1/2)(3/2)q - (1/2)(5q) - (1/2)(5) - 3q
  3. Simplify Each Term: Simplify each term. 34q52q523q\frac{3}{4}q - \frac{5}{2}q - \frac{5}{2} - 3q
  4. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms. To combine the terms with qq, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 44 and 22 is 44.\newline34q104q523q\frac{3}{4}q - \frac{10}{4}q - \frac{5}{2} - 3q
  5. Combine Q Terms: Combine the q terms.\newline(34)q(104)q(\frac{3}{4})q - (\frac{10}{4})q is (74)q(-\frac{7}{4})q.\newlineNow we need to convert 3q-3q to a fraction with a denominator of 44 to combine it with (74)q(-\frac{7}{4})q.\newline3q-3q is the same as (124)q(-\frac{12}{4})q.\newline(74)q(124)q(-\frac{7}{4})q - (\frac{12}{4})q is (52)(-\frac{5}{2})
  6. Combine Q Terms: Combine the q terms with a common denominator.\newline(74)q(124)q(-\frac{7}{4})q - (\frac{12}{4})q is (194)q(-\frac{19}{4})q.\newlineNow we have (194)q(52)(-\frac{19}{4})q - (\frac{5}{2}).
  7. Convert to Fraction: Convert (52)(\frac{5}{2}) to a fraction with a denominator of 44 to combine it with (194)q(-\frac{19}{4})q.\newline(52)(\frac{5}{2}) is the same as (104)(\frac{10}{4}).\newline(194)q(104)(-\frac{19}{4})q - (\frac{10}{4})
  8. Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms. (194)q(104)(-\frac{19}{4})q - (\frac{10}{4}) is the simplified expression.
