4 votes

Answer:

2(2 +5)

Explanation:

We presume you want to rewrite the expression making use of the distributive property. For that, it is helpful to find a factor common to the two terms. The GCD of 4 and 10 is 2, so we can factor that out:

4 + 10 = 2(2 +5)

_____

Of course, you can use any factor you like. It doesn't need to be an integer.

= (1/3)(12 +30)

= 0.4(10 +25)

= 4(1 +2.5)
