Question

1. Which of the following shows the correct use of the Distributive Property when solving 1/3( 33

- y) = 135. 2
• (33 - y) = 1/3 * 135.2 (your response)
. (1/3*33) - 1/3y = 1/3* 135.2
. (1/3 * 33) - 1/3y = 135.2
. (1/3 * 33) + 1/3y = 135.2
Please I need this asp

Answer 1

The option
`((1)/(3)* 33)-(1)/(3)y=(1)/(3)135.2` is correct

Explanation:

Given equation is
`(1)/(3)(33-y)=135.2`

The option shows correct usage of distributive property is

`((1)/(3)* 33)-(1)/(3)y=(1)/(3)135.2`

( by distributive property
`a(x+y)=ax+ay` here
`a=(1)/(3)`, x=33 and y=-y )

Therefore the option
`((1)/(3)* 33)-(1)/(3)y=(1)/(3)135.2` is correct.
