Use the greatest common factor and the distributive property to write equivalent expressions in factored form. 13ab + 15ab =

Given:

The expression is

To find:

The equivalent expressions in factored form.

Solution:

We have,

In the given terms 13ab and 15ab, then common factors are only a and b because 13 is a prime number. So, the greatest common factor is ab.

Distributive property of multiplication over addition:

By using greatest common factor and the distributive property, we get

Therefore, the required equivalent expression is .
