Question

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

Answer 1

Given:

$28(y-\frac{1}{7})=28y\text{ - ?}$

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

Thus, we have:

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

ANSWER:

$28(y-\frac{1}{7})=28y\text{ - }4$

28y - 4
