Expand −5/6(9b−12) .

Answer 1

To expand "-5/6(9b-12)", we will apply the distributive property and simplify each term:

First, distribute -5/6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-5/6 * 9b = (-5/6)*(9b) = -45b/6 = -15b/2
-5/6 * -12 = (-5/6)*(-12) = 60/6 = 10

So the expanded form is:
-15b/2 + 10
