Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 5 5 + 3 5 = 55+35=

Answer 1

5(11+7) = 55+35

Explanation:

The distributive property states that when multiplying a term with a sum multiply into each term within the sum. Here you have a sum. You’ll reverse the distributive property by factoring our a term which could multiply into each. 55 and 35 both have 5 as a factor. This makes the expression 5(11+7) = 55+35.
