Sven is making a school supply display. Sven has 52 notebooks and 42 binders. Sven wants to group the supplies in the display so that there are an equal number of supplies in each group. If we know that Sven puts the same number of notebooks and the same number of binders into each group, how many groups did he display and how many of each item went into each group? Represent your answer using the Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition

Sven displayed 7 groups of supplies, with each group containing 8 notebooks and 6 binders. This can be represented using the Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition as 8(7) + 6(7) = 52 + 42.
8(7) ≠ 52
huh I don't get it.
