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

Answer 1

To expand 1/3(q−6) using the distributive property, we can distribute the fraction 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses.

1/3(q−6) = 1/3 * q + 1/3 * (-6)

=Simplify the expression:

1/3(q) + 1/3(-6)

=q/3 - 6/3

=q/3 - 2

So, the expanded form of 1/3(q−6) is q/3 - 2.
