Answer with explanation:

The given mathematical expression to solve :
35+50

The prime factorization of each term can be written as follows :-


35=5*7


50=5*5*2

We can see that the greatest common factor of both the terms =
5

So we rewrite the given expression as :-


5*7+5*10

By using distributive property :-


ab+ac=a(b+c) , we have


=5(7+10)=5(17)=85
