The Distributive Property also applies to division, as shown. $\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$ Use the Distributive Property of Division to rewrite $\frac{9+12n}{3}$. Then simplify. Answer: $3+4n$

Work Step by Step

The Distributive Property also applies to division, as shown. $\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$ Use the Distributive Property of Division to rewrite $\frac{9+12n}{3}$. Then simplify. Given $\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$ $\frac{9+12n}{3}=\frac{9}{3}+\frac{12n}{3}$ Divide $9/3= 3$ Divide $12n/3$ Answer: $3+4n$
