Answer: 2(11+9)
Step-by-step explanation:
22 = 2*11
18 = 2*9
We see that 2 is the GCF of 22 and 18. It's the largest shared factor.
Now use the distributive property to say the following
22 + 18
2*11 + 2*9
2(11+9)
To check the answer, multiply the outer 2 by each term inside to end up with 22+18 again.
