Then it states use the greatest common factor 6 from the answer above to rewrite using the distributive property.
What numbers would I use to do the distributive property?
Would it be 6(42 + 12)?
Would it be 6(42 + 12)?
6(7 + 2)
Since 6×7=42 and 6×2=12
Since 6×7=42 and 6×2=12
Why would you not just ad 42 + 12=54
6(54)
42 times 6=252
12 times 6=72
252+72=324
54x6=324
Why would you not do it like I did above?
6(54)
42 times 6=252
12 times 6=72
252+72=324
54x6=324
