I need help to answer 28(y-1/7)?

Question

distributive property! please help im so confused

Answer 1

28(y-1/7)=28y-28/7=28y-4

Answer 2

Since you know it's distributive property, simply distribute 28 to the terms inside the parenthesis taking note of the sign.

So, you'll get:

28(y) - 28(1/7)

28y - 28/7

28y - 4

Answer 3

28(y-1/7)

you gotta multiply everything inside parenthesis by everything outside parenthesis

28*y = 28y

28* -1/7 = 4       (28/1 x 1/7 )

so, 28y-4

Answer 4

If you use the distributive property, you can simplify the question to look like this: (28*y) - (28*1/7).

28*y is simply 28y and 28*1/7 is 4..so your answer is 28y-4

Answer 5

28(y - 1/7) (distributive property: multiply 28 to y and multiply 28 to -1/7)

28y - 4 <===ANSWER

Answer 6

28(y-1/7)

means

28*y

and 28*-1/7

= 28y -4
