Answer:
[tex]16[1+3][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, you can multiply each of the two numbers by that factor and then add them
so
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
In this problem we have
[tex](16+48)[/tex]
Decompose the numbers in prime factors
[tex]16=(2^4)\\48=(2^4)(3)[/tex]
substitute in the expression
[tex]2^4+(2^4)(3)[/tex]
Factor 2^4
[tex]2^4[1+3][/tex]
[tex]16[1+3][/tex]
