rewrite using distributive property 42-36

Answer 1

Wat we need to do is factor out common numbers in the expression. 42 and 36 have a 6 in common (as they are both even numbers divisible by 3):

42 ÷ 6 = 7

36 ÷ 6 = 6

So that leaves us with the following:

6(7 - 6)

Check:

42 - 36 = 6

6(7 - 6) ⇒ 6 * 1 = 6
