Mya applied the distributive property to write the equivalent expressions below.

45 + 72 = 9 (5 + 9)

What is Mya’s error?
Mya did not write the common factor in the correct place.
Mya wrote two expressions that are not equivalent.
Mya did not use the correct operations in the equation.
Mya used a factor that is not common to 45 and 72.

Mya's error is that she did not write the common factor in the correct place. The distributive property states that when multiplying a number outside of parentheses with the sum of numbers inside the parentheses, you should distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses. In this case, the common factor is 9, but Mya mistakenly placed it outside of the parentheses instead of multiplying it with each term inside the parentheses.
