Question

Show the distributive property in expanding 1/2(y+2)

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)(y+2)=(y)/(2)+1`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

`(1)/(2)(y+2)`

To show the distributive property, we multiply 1/2 by each of the values inside the bracket.

Doing this, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)* y+(1)/(2)*2 \\ \\ =(y)/(2)+1 \end{gathered}`
