Question

Explain how to use the distributive property to find an expression that is equivalent to 20 + 16.

Answer 1

First, I would find that the GCF of 20 and 16 is 4. Then, I would divide both 20 and 16 by 4. Last, I would use the distributive property to write the sum as 4(5 + 4).

Answer 2

20 + 16......GCF (greatest common factor) = 4

20 + 16
(4 * 5) + (4 * 4) =
4(5 + 4) <=== ur answer
