Question

Show the distributive property in expanding 1/2(y+2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}(y+2)=\frac{y}{2}+1$

Explanation:

Given the expression:

$\frac{1}{2}(y+2)$

To show the distributive property, we multiply 1/2 by each of the values inside the bracket.

Doing this, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\times y+\frac{1}{2}\times2 \\ \\ =\frac{y}{2}+1 \end{gathered}$
