Expand 1/3(q-6) using the distributive property.
a. -1/3q+6
b. 1/3q-2
c. 1/3q-6
d. -1/3q+2
Using the distributive property, we multiply 1/3 with both terms inside the parentheses:
1/3(q) - 1/3(6)
This simplifies to:
1/3q - 6/3
The fraction 6/3 can be further simplified to 2, so we have:
1/3q - 2
Therefore, the correct answer is: b. 1/3q - 2
