Use gcf and distributive property to find the sum of 18 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:
Since the GCF of 18 and 24 is 6, we can distribute 6 into each number.
[tex]6(3) + 6(4) = 18 + 24 \: (when \: multiplied)[/tex]
Also represents;
[tex]6(3 + 4) = 18 + 24[/tex]
And;
[tex]6(7) = 18 + 24[/tex]
When solved;
[tex]42 = 18 + 24[/tex]
