Expand 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property.

4 answers

To expand 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/3:

1/3(q−6) = 1/3 * q + 1/3 * (-6)

Multiplying 1/3 by q gives you (1/3)q, and multiplying 1/3 by -6 gives you (1/3)(-6) = -2.

So, 1/3(q−6) = (1/3)q - 2.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.

1/3(q−6) can be expanded by distributing 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

1/3(q−6) = 1/3 * q + 1/3 * (-6)

Multiplying 1/3 by q gives us (1/3)q, and multiplying 1/3 by -6 gives us (1/3)(-6) = -6/3 = -2.

So, 1/3(q−6) = (1/3)q - 2.
