Rewrite the following expression to reflect the distributive property 63+ 72

Question

Need help for my 11 year old reminder of brack down.

Answer 1

First you have to find the GCF ( Greatest Common Factor which is 9.  Then you have to divide each term by 9 and place the solutions in the parentheses.

 

63 +72=  63/9=7  72/9=8

9(7+8)

Answer 2

distributive property:

 

A(x + y) = Ax + Ay

 

Find the highest factor that goes into both 63 and 72.

 

9 goes into both 63 and 72. So factor that out.

 

63 + 72 = 9(7 + 8) = 135
