To simplify the expression using the distributive property, you need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/2 and then simplify.
1/2(1/2y - 3/4) = (1/2 * 1/2y) - (1/2 * 3/4)
Simplifying each term:
= 1/4y - 3/8
So, the simplified expression is 1/4y - 3/8.
Use the distributive property to simplify the expression
1/2(1/2y - 3/4)
