Full solution

Q. Distribute to create an equivalent expression with the fewest symbols possible. 12(10x+20y+10z)\frac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)
  1. Distribute to 10x10x: Distribute 12\frac{1}{2} to the first term, 10x10x.\newline12×10x=5x\frac{1}{2} \times 10x = 5x
  2. Distribute to 20y20y: Distribute 12\frac{1}{2} to the second term, 20y20y.\newline12×20y=10y\frac{1}{2} \times 20y = 10y
  3. Distribute to 10z10z: Distribute 12\frac{1}{2} to the third term, 10z10z.\newline12×10z=5z\frac{1}{2} \times 10z = 5z
  4. Combine and simplify: Combine the results from steps 11, 22, and 33 to write the simplified expression.\newlineThe simplified expression is 5x+10y+5z5x + 10y + 5z.
