expand (-1)/3 (x+12)

Solution

expand

\frac{- 1}{3} (x + 12)

Solution

- \frac{x}{3} - 4

Solution steps

\frac{- 1}{3} (x + 12)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

\frac{- 1}{3} (x + 12) = \frac{- 1}{3} x + \frac{- 1}{3} \cdot 12

= \frac{- 1}{3} x + \frac{- 1}{3} \cdot 12

Simplify

\frac{- 1}{3} x + \frac{- 1}{3} \cdot 12 : - \frac{x}{3} - 4

= - \frac{x}{3} - 4
