If you use the distributive property on (x+y)/3, the result should be:
(x/3) + (y/3)
Hey there!

Answer: D. Dividing
Step-by-step explanation:
When we divide a number ( whether fraction or not ) by a fraction, then we first change the operator to multiplication and reciprocate the second fraction.
Let's take an example:
Suppose we have h division problem in fraction as 
Then, our first step would be to change division operator (÷) by multiplication operator (×) and then ×reciprocate the second fraction , so the next step will become
, Now cancel out 3 and 2 from both numerator and denominator , we get

i.e. 
Hence, the correct option is "D. Dividing".
Step 1. Factor out the common term 2
n - 2 = 2(5n + 2)/2
Step 2. Cancel 2
n - 2 = 5n + 2
Step 3. Subtract n from both sides
-2 = 5n + 2 - n
Step 4. Simplify 5n + 2 - n to 4n + 2
-2 = 4n + 2
Step 5. Subtract 2 from both sides
-2 - 2 = 4n
Step 6. Simplify -2 - 2 to -4
-4 = 4n
Step 7. Divide both sides by 4
-1 = n
Step 8. Switch sides
n = -1
