Question

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.
75+20=75+20=75, plus, 20,

Answer 1

3(5+7)3(5+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to factor out the given expression using distributive property.

First of all, we will find greatest common factor of 15 and 21.

Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7, 21.

We can see that greatest common factor of 15 and 21 is 3.

15+2115+21

\3\cdot 5+3\cdot 73⋅5+3⋅7\3⋅5+3⋅73⋅5+3⋅7

Factor out 3:

3(5+7)3(5+7)

Therefore, the factored form of our given expression would be 3(5+7)3(5+7) .
