Answer:

[tex]34 + 51 = 85[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]34 + 51[/tex]

Required

Use GCF and distributive property to determine the sum

34 can be expressed as:

[tex]34 = 2 * 17[/tex]

51 can be expressed as:

[tex]51 = 3 * 17[/tex]

So, the GCF of both numbers is 17

[tex]34 + 51[/tex] can then be expressed as:

[tex]2 * 17 + 3 * 17[/tex]

Apply Distributive Property, we have:

[tex]17(2 + 3)[/tex]

Solving further:

[tex]17 * 5[/tex]

[tex]85[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]34 + 51 = 85[/tex]
