Question

Use the distributive property to express 32+96

Answer 1

32 = 16 · 2

96 = 16 · 6

32 + 96 = 16 · 2 + 16 · 6 = 16 · (2 + 6)

or

32 = 32 · 1

96 = 32 · 3

32 + 96 = 32 · 1 + 32 · 3 = 32 · (1 + 3)

Answer 2

Hey there!

You could say: $8(4 + 12)$ as your distributive property to express this particular equation out

Let's make sure that it is correct

$8(4) = 32$

$8(12) = 96$

Our equation looks like this: $32 + 96$

$32 = 32$

$96 = 96$

So, therefore your result  would most likely going to be: $\boxed {Answer: 8(4 + 12) }$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
