Question

Use the distributive property to express 32+96

Answer 1

32 = 16 · 2

96 = 16 · 6

32 + 96 = 16 · 2 + 16 · 6 = 16 · (2 + 6)

or

32 = 32 · 1

96 = 32 · 3

32 + 96 = 32 · 1 + 32 · 3 = 32 · (1 + 3)

Answer 2

Hey there!

You could say:
`8(4 + 12)` as your distributive property to express this particular equation out

Let's make sure that it is correct

`8(4) = 32`

`8(12) = 96`

Our equation looks like this:
`32 + 96`

`32 = 32`

`96 = 96`

So, therefore your result would most likely going to be:
`\boxed {Answer: 8(4 + 12) }`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
