How to do distributive property for 50+75

Question

I need help with a math problem and the question is:

Use the distributive property (factor formed) to express 50+75 as a product.(Hint use a rectangle if you need to)

Answer 1

It is not possible to show by rectangles here, but the distributive property in mathematics states that:

ab + ac = a(b + c)

Find a common factor for 50 and 75. Both 5 and 25 are common factors.

Let's start with 25.

50 = 25 x 5 and 75 = 25 x 3 a in this case would be 25, so:

50 + 75 = 25(2 + 3)
