Question

How do you find the reverse distributive property of `12a + ab`?

Answer 1

`12a + ab = a(12+b)`

Explanation:

The reverse distributive property would seem to be the same as factoring. There is a common factor of `a`, divide it out of each term.

`12a + ab = a(12+b)`

The distributive property would be to multiply the `a` across the bracket.
