Using the distributive property of multiplication over

Question

addition, we can factor as in x2 + xy = x1x + y2. Use
the distributive property and other multiplication properties
to factor each of the following:

47.99 + 47
(x+1)Y +(X+1)
x^2y+z^x3

Answer 1

1. 47*99 + 47.
47 is common to both terms. Therefore we factor out 47:
47(99+1).

2. (x+1)y + (x+1)1.
x+1 is common to both terms. So we factor out x+1.
(x+1)(y+1).

3. No common terms.
