Expand 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property.(1 point)
Responses
−1/3q+2
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 2
1/3q−6
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 6
−13q+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
1/3 * q - 1/3 * 6 = 1/3 * q - 2 = (1/3)q - 2
To expand 1/3(q-6) using the Distributive Property, we distribute 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
1/3 * q = 1/3q
1/3 * -6 = -2
So, the expanded form of 1/3(q-6) is 1/3q - 2.
To expand 1/3(q-6) using the Distributive Property, we need to distribute the 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses.
First, distribute the 1/3 to the q term:
1/3 * q = q/3
Next, distribute the 1/3 to the -6 term:
1/3 * (-6) = -6/3 = -2
So, the expanded form of 1/3(q-6) is q/3 - 2.
