Question

Jose wants to rewrite 24+9 using the greatest common factor and the distributive property. Which expression should he write?

Answer 1

3(8+3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

First get the factors of 24: 2*2*2*3Then the factors of 9: 3*3 Comparing the factors, the GCF is 3 Then you can rewrite the expression: 3*8 + 3*3 At this point, I'm not sure whether what you mean is really distributive property or not since this case is more of a factoring. 3*(8+3)
