Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 35+50=35+50=?

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

The given mathematical expression to solve : $35+50$

The prime factorization of each term can be written as follows :-

$35=5\times7$

$50=5\times5\times2$

We can see that the greatest common factor of both the terms = $5$

So we rewrite the given expression as :-

$5\times7+5\times10$

By using distributive property :-

$ab+ac=a(b+c)$ , we have

$=5(7+10)=5(17)=85$
