Byron wants to use the distributive property to rewrite the addition problem shown so that the numbers left in the parentheses have no common factor except 1.%0D%0A%0D%0A(48 + 36)%0D%0A%0D%0AWhich is an equivalent expression that has numbers in the parentheses whose only common factor is 1?
One way to rewrite the expression using the distributive property so that the numbers in the parentheses have no common factor except 1 is:
(48 + 36) = 12 * 4 + 12 * 3 = 12(4 + 3) = 12 * 7 = 84
So, the equivalent expression with numbers in the parentheses whose only common factor is 1 is:
(48 + 36) = 84
