Question

A student commented, "Factoring undoes the distributive property." What do you think the student meant? Explain using at least 2 - 3 complete sentences and give an example.

Answer 1

Using the distributive property in reverse allows the sum or difference of two products to be written as a product of one number and the sum or difference of two numbers. Because the number and the sum or difference are factors of the resulting product, using the distributive property in this way is called factoring.
