Okay. So, a good number that 28 and 42 is divisible by is 7. A distributive property problem to express 28 + 42 is 7(4 + 6).

the numbers 28 and 42 are both divisible by 7, so divide both numbers by 7
28/7 = 4 42/7 = 6
this means that 7(4 + 6) = 28 + 42
Lets check it!
(7 times 4) + (7 times 6) =
28 + 42

Yep! it works! your answer is 7(4+6)
I hope this helps!!
