Question

Distributive property: a(b+c) = ab + ac
a(b+c) = _ + _
4 (1+3) = 4(4) = _
4(1) + 4 (_)
4 + 12 = 16

Note that the factor 4 is the GCF of 4 and 12.

Answer 1

Let's fill in the blanks based on the provided information:

• Distributive property: a(b+c) = ab + ac
• a(b+c) = ab + ac
• 4 (1+3) = 4(4) = 16
• 4(1) + 4 (3)
• 4 + 12 = 16

So, the complete filled in section would look like this:

Distributive property: a(b+c) = ab + ac
a(b+c) = ab + ac
4 (1+3) = 4(4) = 16
4(1) + 4 (3)
4 + 12 = 16
