0.5 (x+0.1) - 0.1 (x-0.5)

Answer: 0.4x + 0.1

Step-by-step explanation: Distribution.

0.5 (x+0.1) - 0.1 (x-0.5)

0.5 times x = 0.5x

0.5 times 0.1 = 0.05

First step: 0.5x + 0.05

Distribute next part

-0.1 times x = - 0.1x

-0.1 times - 0.5 = 0.05

-0.1x + 0.05

Put together: 0.5x + 0.05 - 0.1x + 0.05

Combine like terms:

0.5x - 0.1x = 0.4x

0.05 + 0.05 =.1

Answer: 0.4x + 0.1

0.4x + 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 (x + 0.1) - 0.1 (x - 0.5) Distribute the 0.5 and the - 0.1 over the parentheses:

= 0.5x + 0.05 - 0.1x + 0.05

= 0.4x + 0.1.
