Hi Stacybragon,

Answer/Solution:

Well, 9 (47) can be added:

9 x (40 + 7)

But distributive property is having the same first number and factoring out the second.

(9 x 7) + (9 x 40)

Jaydon Levy · Answer 2

Seperate the 47 into 2 different numbers at can be added together

40 + 7 = 47

So now you have: 9 (40+7)

This would become (9 * 40) + (9*7)
