Question

write 28 + 24 as a product of two factors using the greatest common factor and the distributive property

Answer 1

4 * 13

Explanation:

Okay, so we have to use the distributive property to solve this. We know 28 and 24 have a common factor of 4. If we factor a 4 out of 28 + 24, then we get 4 * (7 + 6). Adding 7 + 6, we get 13. Therefore, we get 4 * 13.
