Question

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

Answer 1

To expand 1/3(q - 6) using the Distributive Property, we need to distribute the 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses.

1/3(q - 6) = 1/3 * q - 1/3 * 6

Now, multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/3.

= q/3 - 6/3

Simplifying each term:

=q/3 - 2.

Therefore, 1/3(q - 6) expands to q/3 - 2 using the Distributive Property.
