Question

Use the distributive property and the greatest common factor to rewrite the sum 25 + 60.

Answer 1

The factors of 25 and 60 would be 5. 25 divided by 5 is 5 and 60 divided by 5 is 12. 

So here is what the distributive property looks like.

a(b+c)=a*b+a*c  but we are going to rewrite a*b and a*c as 5*5 and 12* 5

a(b+c)=5*5+12*5

So i'd say its 5*5+5*12  i hope this helps

Answer 2

the answer should be 5^2+5×12
