Question

Evaluate 1/3 ( 9 - k ) using the distributive property

Answer 1

3-
`(1)/(3)`k

Explanation:

when using the distributive property multiply 1/3 into everything inside the parentheses.

So your first step is to multiply 1/3 to 9.

`(1)/(3)` x
`(9)/(1)` keeping in mind that all numbers are divisible by one.

then you get your answer of
`(9)/(3)` which equals 3.

From there you want to distribute the
`(1)/(3)` into k but you don't know what "k" is so you'll have an answer of
`(1)/(3)`k meaning that k whatever it is. Is being multiplied by the
`(1)/(3)`.
