Yes because it's the distributive property. The distributive property is where you multiply whatever is in the parentheses to the number on the outside. For instance, 5 (20+11) to answer this, you set it up like this: 5 (_+_) this mean that there are two in the answer. So 5*20 equals 100 and 5*11 equals 55 so to set it up, you do 100+55. To see it the answer is right, you say 5 (_+_) and like the factoring to find the numbe is the greatest common factor. The GCF of 100 and 55 is 5 so 100 divided by 5 equal 20 and 55 divided by 11 equals 5 so there you go.
