Remove the parentheses from the following expression: (2y + x) ÷ z.
A. 2yz + xz
B. 2y/z + x/z
C. Z/2y + x
D. 2y + x + z
To remove the parentheses from the expression "(2y + x) ÷ z," you need to distribute the division operator to each term inside the parentheses. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the expression "(2y + x) ÷ z."
2. Distribute the division operator ÷ to each term inside the parentheses individually:
((2y) ÷ z) + (x ÷ z)
3. Simplify each of the distributed terms:
2y/z + x/z
So, the expression without parentheses is "2y/z + x/z."
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2y/z + x/z.
