It's best to learn math with an example, so let's take a look at one:
●1/3 ( x + 3)
Step 1:
Multiply the term on the outside of the parenthesis by the first term on the inside of the parenthesis.
●1/3*x= 1/3x
Step 2:
Continue multiplying the outside term by each term inside until all terms inside the parentheses have been multiplied.
●1/3 * 3 = 1
Step 3:
Simplify the results by collecting like terms and reducing all fractions, where necessary.
● 1/3x + 1
The solution to this example is simply 1/3x + 1.
