Question

use the distributive property to factor the expression. 0.8z - 1.8 = 0.2(4z) - 0.2(9) = ( ? z - ? )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the common factor

The common factor of $0.2(4z)-0.2(9)$ is $0.2$.

Step2: Apply the distributive property in reverse

We can rewrite the expression as $0.2(4z - 9)$.

Answer:

$0.2(4z - 9)$
