Answer:

you can use factoring to create equivalent expressions,

Explanation:

To factor an expression, we use the distributive property to rewrite a sum as a product. The new expression is equivalent to the original expression. For example, we can factor the expression 20x+35 to get the equivalent expression 5(4x+7).

Factoring – Using the Distributive Property. A factor is a number that can be divided into another number evenly. For example, the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. ... It means that a number outside the parentheses of an addition problem can be multiplied by each number inside the parentheses.
