Expand 1/3(q−6) using the Distributive Property
To expand the expression 1/3(q−6) using the distributive property, we need to distribute the 1/3 to both terms inside the parentheses.
1/3(q−6) = 1/3 * q + 1/3 * (-6)
Simplifying each term:
= q/3 - 6/3
= q/3 - 2
Therefore, the expanded form of 1/3(q−6) using the distributive property is q/3 - 2.
