Answer:

Explanation:

24n + 32w = (3n + w)

We're asked to use distributive property, this means that we have to find a way that the given expression on the left hand side is equal to the given incomplete exresssion on the right hand side. In so doing, we're fulfilling the distributive property tag.

Given 3n, 3 factorises 24 into 8, and at the same time, factorises 32 into 4. Thus, we can then conclude that

24n + 32w = 8(3n + 4w)
