Question

This distributive property question is giving me a bit of issues.. Please help http://prntscr.com/fj2nfv

Answer 1

I multiplied (4/15) by 3 and (-1/3)by(3/1)

Answer 2

so it's 12/15 and -1 (because 3 cancels out)

Answer 3

But it says it's wrong when I put -3/4x

Answer 4

\[\frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}\]

Answer 5

not \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Answer 6

and the \(-1\) should be hanging out at the end

Answer 7

ooh, my bad, so it's 4/5x -1?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I feel so foolish for my simple mistake. Thank you again!
