Question

Expand 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property.(1 point) Responses 1/3q−6 Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 6 −1/3q+6 negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 6 1/3q−2 Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 2 −1/3q+2

Answer 1

To expand \( \frac{1}{3}(q - 6) \) using the Distributive Property, you multiply \( \frac{1}{3} \) by both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
\frac{1}{3}(q) - \frac{1}{3}(6)
\]

This gives:

\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]
