(9 x 1) + (9 x 4) = 9 x 5 = 45
To write a simplified expression in factored form, first identify common factors or patterns such as differences of squares, perfect squares, or the distributive property. Next, factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) if applicable. Then, look for any further factorization opportunities, such as factoring trinomials or using methods like grouping. Finally, rewrite the expression as a product of its factors, ensuring that it is in its simplest form.
To use the distributive property, multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses. For example, in the expression ( a(b + c) ), you would calculate it as ( ab + ac ). This property helps simplify expressions and solve equations by distributing a common factor across terms. It's particularly useful when dealing with addition or subtraction within parentheses.
The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, applying the distributive property to 20 + 32, we get 1(20) + 1(32) = 20 + 32. The greatest common factor (GCF) for 20 and 32 is 4, as 4 is the largest number that divides both 20 and 32 evenly without leaving a remainder.
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).
Greatest Common Factor .... largest expression which (evenly) divides into the given expressions.
An unnecessary one. 42 + 96 = 138
(6 x 7) + (6 x 16) = 6 x 23 = 138
The GCF is 16.
(21 x 2) + (25 x 2) = 46 x 2 = 92
(4 x 4) + (4 x 9) = 4 x 13 = 52
The GCF is 6.
The GCF of 24 and 30 is 6. The distributive property states that 24 x 30 = (20 x 30) + (4 x 30)
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. YOu have only one term "8 + W" in the question so there cannot be a GCF. It is not possible to find any factor (other than 1 and 8 + W, itself, without further information about W.The distributive property has no relevance to this question.
18 + 24 = (3 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 7 x 6 = 42
The GCF is 18. The Distributive property states that 36 x (50 + 4) = (36 x 50) + (36 x 4)
Using my knowledge of greatest common factors and the distributive property, I can tell that 45 + 63 is equal to 9(5 + 7) or 9 x 12, which is 108. Of course, I could also tell that from my knowledge of addition.
