Answer 2

Answer:

15(2+5).

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to see distributive property is applying common factor. In this case we have that 30 and 75 are multiples of 15, so we can factor 15 as follows:

15 as a factor of the expression and within parentheses the division of numbers by our common factor.

30+75 = 15(2+5).

15(2+5)= 15*2+15*5 =  30+75.
