Since you didn't mention the numbers of students involved, I'll make them up. Let's say there are 18 bass students and 27 violin students.
(2 x 9) + (3 x 9) = 5 x 9 = 45
Suppose B is the number of bass players, V is the number of violin players and let GCF(B, V) = G
Then B + V = G*(B/G + V/G).
express 5610 as the product of prime factors

The distributive property of multiplication lets you simplify expressions wherein you multiply a number by a sum or difference. According to this property, the product of a sum or difference of a number is equal to the sum or difference of the products.
(6x18)+(6x1)=115
If you simply add numbers the answer is the sum of those numbers.
Because of the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
7*9 = 9*(10 - 3) = 90 - 27 = 63
(7 x 60) + (7 x 5) = 420 + 35 = 455
