Question

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation 2/3 (9a + 6) = 23.8

Answer 1

Distributive property tell us how to solve expressions in the form a(b+c), it says:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Then,

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)(9a+6)=23.8 \\ (18a)/(3)+(12)/(3)=23.8 \\ 6a+4=23.8 \\ 6a=23.8-4 \\ a=(19.8)/(6)=3.3 \end{gathered}`
