Question

What is the distributive property of 4+10

Answer 1

Answer:

  2(2 +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume you want to rewrite the expression making use of the distributive property. For that, it is helpful to find a factor common to the two terms. The GCD of 4 and 10 is 2, so we can factor that out:

  4 + 10 = 2(2 +5)

_____

Of course, you can use any factor you like. It doesn't need to be an integer.

  = (1/3)(12 +30)

  = 0.4(10 +25)

  = 4(1 +2.5)
