Suppose x and y are two terms with GCF k where the assumption (in this context) is that k is greater than 1.

That implies that x = pk and y = qk where p and q are coprime terms.

Then x + y = pk + qk and, using the distributive property, this is k*(p + q).

What is an equivalent fraction with an answer of 25 in distributive property?

The distributive property is not related to finding equivalent fractions. The distributive property is a rule that states a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. It is used to simplify expressions and perform operations like multiplication or addition. To find an equivalent fraction, you would need to multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.
