Question

Use the distributive property to factor the expression 25 + 55.

Answer 1

The basics of Distributive property is

A(B + C) = AB + AC

We can see that its already in the form AB + AC

so lets change to A(B+C)

The factor that can be factored from both is 5

25 + 55 = 5( 5 + 11).

Answer..... 5(5 + 11).
