Answer :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication over addition tells you ...

  a(b +c) = ab +ac

This works both ways, allowing you to eliminate or add parentheses as may be needed.

The common factor of ...

  11x +5xy

is x. It may be factored out according to the distributive property to give ...

  x(11 +5y)
