Question

Uses a distributive property to rewrite the expression as a multiple of a sum of two numbers with no common factor 27+9

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

$27+9$

To find:

The expression as a multiple of a sum of two numbers with no common factor.

Solution:

We have,

$27+9$

It can be written as

$=3\times 9+9$

Using distributive property taking out the common factors.

$=(3+1)9$                $[\because a(b+c)=ab+ac]$

Therefore, the required expression is $(3+1)9$.
