QuestionUse the distributive property to rewrite the expression. 17(28y+3)-\frac{1}{7}(28 y+3)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are asked to rewrite the expression using the distributive property.
2. The expression involves a multiplication of a fraction with a binomial.

STEP 2

1. Apply the distributive property to the expression 17(28y+3)-\frac{1}{7}(28y + 3).
2. Simplify each term after distribution.

STEP 3

Apply the distributive property, which states that a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac, to the expression 17(28y+3)-\frac{1}{7}(28y + 3).
17×28y+17×3 -\frac{1}{7} \times 28y + -\frac{1}{7} \times 3

STEP 4

Simplify each term separately.
First term: 17×28y=287y=4y -\frac{1}{7} \times 28y = -\frac{28}{7}y = -4y
Second term: 17×3=37 -\frac{1}{7} \times 3 = -\frac{3}{7}

STEP 5

Combine the simplified terms to rewrite the expression.
4y37 -4y - \frac{3}{7}
