Use the distributive property to rewrite 40 + 24

I am not sure how I would to this

Please help me learn this

So are the above two answers two different ways of answering the problem?

No worries, I'm here to help you learn!

The distributive property states that when you have a number outside of parentheses multiplied by the sum inside the parentheses, you can distribute the number to each term inside the parentheses.

In this case, we have 40 + 24. The distributive property allows us to rewrite this expression by distributing the 40 to each term inside the parentheses (even though there are no parentheses in this expression).

Here's how you can do it step by step:

1. Start with the expression: 40 + 24

2. Recognize that 40 can be written as 40 * 1, which means we can distribute the 40 to each individual term inside the parentheses (in this case, there are no parentheses, but we can still apply the distributive property).

3. Distribute the 40 to each term inside the parentheses:

40 * 1 + 40 * 24

4. Simplify each term:

40 + 960

5. Add the two simplified terms:

40 + 960 = 1000

Therefore, using the distributive property, we can rewrite 40 + 24 as 1000.

bla

4(10 + 6)

2(20 + 12)
basically take a common factor between 40 and 24 and divide
