1. Expand to write an equivalent expression: \( -\frac{1}{2}(-2 x+4 y) \) Type the answer in the box below. 2. Factor to write an equivalent expression: \( 26 a-10 \) Type the answer in the box below

1. Expand to write an equivalent expression for \( -\frac{1}{2}(-2x+4y) \): - Distribute the multiplication: \[ -\frac{1}{2}(-2x) = x \quad \text{and} \quad -\frac{1}{2}(4y) = -2y \] - Thus, the expanded expression is: \[ x-2y \] 2. Factor to write an equivalent expression for \( 26a-10 \): - Notice that both terms are even, so factor out the greatest common factor \(2\): \[ 26a-10 = 2(13a-5) \] The final answers are: 1. \( x-2y \) 2. \( 2(13a-5) \)
