Factor out the coefficient of the variable term.

The expression 1/2n-1/2 factored is : ?

7th.

Sagot :

Given:

The expression is

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}n-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

To find:

The factored form of given expression after factor out the coefficient of the variable term.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}n-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Here, the coefficient of variable n is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

It can be written as

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}\times n-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1[/tex]

Taking out [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] as common factor, we get

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}(n-1)[/tex]

Therefore, the factored from of given expression is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}(n-1)[/tex].
