Question

A) –2n + 9m – 17p

B) –2n – 9mn + 17np

C) –2n + 9mn – 17np

D) –18n + 81mn – 153np

Answer 1

The correct answer is: [C]: " −2n + 9mn − 17np" .
_____________________________________________________


`(1)/(3)` n (−6 + 27m − 51p) =

(
`(1)/(3)` n * −6 ) + (
`(1)/(3)` n * 27m ) −
(
`(1)/(3)` n * 51p ) ;


= −2n + 9mn − 17np ; which is: Answer choice: [C]: " −2n + 9mn − 17np" .

Answer 2

-2n + 9mn - 17np

All you do is simplify the equation by distributing and multiplying the 1/3n to each of the numbers.
