Question

Expand the expression 2/7(2s 3)

Answer 1

take 2/7 and multiply it by both expressions in the parentheses 

2/7(2s) + 2/7(3) 

4/7s + 6/7

(note this is the answer assuming that there is supposed to be a plus sign in between 2s and 3 (2s + 3) )

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4}{7}s+ \frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

Given the expression:

$\frac{2}{7}(2s+3)$

Apply the distributive property:

$\frac{2}{7} \cdot (2s) +\frac{2}{7} \cdot (3)$

Simplify:

$\frac{4}{7}s+ \frac{6}{7}$

Therefore, the expanded form of the given expression is, $\frac{4}{7}s+ \frac{6}{7}$
