Answer: " -54b + 9 " .
___

Explanation:

Note the distributive property of multiplication:
a(b + c) = ab + ac ;

We are given: (1/3 − 2b)27 ;

Let's rewrite: ↔ 27(1/3 − 2b) ;

Now: Rewrite using the distributive property. Then, simplify.

27 (1/3 − 2b) = (27 * 1/3) + (27 * -2b) ;

= 9 + (-54)b ;
= - 54b + 9 ;

which is the simplified form of the expression.

hello

the expression given is


((1)/(3)-2b)27

now we rewrite the equation using distributive property


(a+b)* c=(a* c)+(b* c)_{}
\begin{gathered} ((1)/(3)-2b)*27 \\ (27*(1)/(3))+(-2b*27) \\ 9-54b \end{gathered}

the expression is 9 - 54b
