Answer 1

(20+4)x4 multiply 4x20=80 and 4x4=16. Add 80+16 and get 96.

Answer 2

`4\cdot (20+4)`

Explanation:

We are given that felipes write an expression 4 times 24 to find the cost in dollars of buying 4 dvd.

Cost of each dvds=$24

We have to rewrite felipes expression using the distributive property

`4* 24=` $96

We know that distributive property

`a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`

Now, we can write given expression using distributive property

`4\cdot (20+4)=4\cdot 20+4\cdot 4=80+16=96`

Hence, the felipes rewrite an expression as

`4\cdot (20+4)`
