    1.) 48 + 72

    2.) GCF = 8

    3.) 8 * 6 = 48

    8 * 9 = 72

    4.) 8 (6 + 9)

    The distributive property says that:

    A * (B + C) = A*B + A*C

    in this case we have the sum:

    48 + 72

    First, we can see that both numbers are even numbers, so we can write this addition as:

    2*24 + 2*36 = 2 * (24 + 36)

    where we used the distributive property in the inverse way as usual.

    2 * (24 + 36) = 2*60 = 120
