What you need to do is to find a multiple of 20 and 16 in other words a number that can multiply into 20 and 16. You have 2 and you have 4. So now this is how it looks like.
Either:
4(5+4) Or
2(10+8)

The distributive property is given by:

A(B + C) = AB + AC

Using this, we will find that 4(5 + 4) = 49 is equivalent to 20 + 16

Ok, we start with 20 + 16, and we want to find an equivalent expression to this one.

To do it, we need to find a common factor between 20 and 16.

For example both of these are even numbers, thus we can write:

20 = 210

16 = 28

Then we can rewrite:

20 + 16 = 210 + 28

Now we use the distributive property to get:

210 + 28 = 2(10 + 8) = 218

We can see that 4 is also a common factor, thus we also can write:

20 = 45

16 = 44

then:

20 + 16 = 45 + 44 = 4(5 + 4) = 4*9

So we just found two equivalent expressions.
