Which expression is equivalent to 4/9(2n-3)?

A. 2n - 1 1/3
B. 8/9n - 3
C. 2n -3
D. 8/9n - 1 1/3

(I don't think it's C, possibly D??)

Respuesta :

The answer is D, 8/9n-11/3 seems correct to me

Answer:

Option D is correct.

[tex]\frac{8}{9}n - 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: [tex]\frac{4}{9}(2n-3)[/tex]   .....[1]

The distributive property says that:

[tex]a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c[/tex]

Apply the distributive property in equation [1] we get;

[tex]\frac{4}{9} \cdot 2n+ \frac{4}{9} \cdot (-3)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\frac{8}{9}n - \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

We can write [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] in mixed fraction as:

[tex]\frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

then;

[tex]\frac{8}{9}n - 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression which is equivalent to [tex]\frac{4}{9}(2n-3)[/tex]  is, [tex]\frac{8}{9}n - 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
