Problem

Use the distributive property to write the following expression without parentheses. \[ -\frac{2}{3}(6 x-3 y) \] $-\frac{2}{3}(6 x-3 y)=$ (Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

Solution

Step 1 :The given expression is \(-\frac{2}{3}(6 x-3 y)\).

Step 2 :We can use the distributive property to write the expression without parentheses. The distributive property states that for all real numbers a, b, and c: a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c.

Step 3 :Applying the distributive property to the expression \(-\frac{2}{3} * (6x - 3y)\), we multiply \(-\frac{2}{3}\) by each term inside the parentheses.

Step 4 :This gives us \(-4x + 2y\).

Step 5 :So, the expression \(-\frac{2}{3}(6 x-3 y)\) without parentheses is \(-4x + 2y\).

Step 6 :\(\boxed{-\frac{2}{3}(6 x-3 y) = -4x + 2y}\)
