Responses

13q−2
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 2

−13q+2
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 2

−13q+6
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 6

13q−6
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 6

Answer 1

The correct expansion of 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property is:

(1/3)(q) + (1/3)(-6)
= q/3 - 6/3
= q/3 - 2
