Math Problem Statement

6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}w-\dfrac{3}{4}\right)

Solution

The given expression is:

6(12w34)6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}w - \dfrac{3}{4}\right)

Let's simplify this step by step:

  1. Distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:

6×12w6×346 \times \dfrac{1}{2}w - 6 \times \dfrac{3}{4}

  1. Simplify each term:
  • 6×12w=3w6 \times \dfrac{1}{2}w = 3w
  • 6×34=184=4.56 \times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{18}{4} = 4.5
  1. Therefore, the simplified expression is:

3w4.53w - 4.5
