Question

Which expression is equivalent to this one? 1/6(x - 18)

A)1/6x - 18
B)1/6x • (-18)
C)1/6x - 3
D)1/6 + x - 18

Answer 1

C, because you distribute the 1/6 to x and 18 which ends up being 1/6x - 3

Answer 2

$\frac{1}{6}(x-18)$   Distribute 1/6(multiple 1/6 to x and -18)

$\frac{1}{6}(x) -\frac{1}{6} (18)$     Simplify

$\frac{1}{6}x -3$       Your answer is C
