Question

Describe the relationship between using the Distributive Property to simplify an expression and to factor an expression. Give an example to justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a polynomial, first identify the greatest common factor of the monomial terms. Then use the Distributive Property to rewrite the polynomial as the product of the GCF and the other parts of the polynomial. (Remember, the distributive property says that a(b + c) = a • b + a • c.)
