Answer:
[tex]1.5x-5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When given the following problem,
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}(-3x+10)[/tex]
Distribute, multiply every term inside the parenthesis by the term outside of the parenthesis,
[tex]=(-\frac{1}{2})(-3x)+(-\frac{1}{2})(10)[/tex]
Now simplify the expression, remember, negative times negative is positive,
[tex]=\frac{3}{2}x-5[/tex]
Rewrite as a decimal; remember ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]) is equivalent to ([tex]0.5[/tex]). Therefore ([tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]) equals ([tex]1.5[/tex]). Apply this here to rewrite the expression as a decimal,
[tex]1.5x-5[/tex]
