Options:
-1/3q + 2
1/3q - 2
1/3q - 6
-1/3q + 6

Answer 1

1/3(q - 6) can be expanded using the distributive property by multiplying 1/3 by q and by -6.

The result is (1/3)q - (1/3)6.

Simplifying further:

(1/3)q - 2.

So the correct expansion is 1/3q - 2.

Therefore, the option "1/3q - 2" is the correct answer.
