Question

28 (y - 1/7) = 28y - ?Rewrite, using the distributive property

Answer 1

Given:

`28(y-(1)/(7))=28y\text{ - ?}`

To rewrite using distributive property, distribute the 28 to all values inside the parenthesis.

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (28\ast y\text{ )-(28}\ast(1)/(7)) \\ =28y\text{ - 4} \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`28(y-(1)/(7))=28y\text{ - }4`

28y - 4
