Question

$factorise \: \\ \\ \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$
please factories it with full explanation

Answer 1

First, let's take out the 1/2 from the expression.

Now, with another method we can the LCM so we take out 2 as common but let's just say that if I take out 1/2 then we can say that
$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (x + 1)$
Now, if you do by both the methods we can say that if we solve this expression we will get the same results As
$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{x + 1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times (x + 1)$
