expand 1/3 (q-6) using distrubute propertys

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.

First, we distribute 1/3 to q:
(1/3) * q = q/3

Next, we distribute 1/3 to -6:
(1/3) * (-6) = -6/3 = -2

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