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.
