Exercise 1 Page 110

Rewrite each term as a product of its prime factors to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms.

5(3 x + 5)

Practice makes perfect
To factor the expression, we have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms. Let's rewrite each term as a product of its prime factors. 15x&= 3 * 5* x 25&= 5* 5 In this case, the GCF is 5. We are going to rewrite each term as 5 multiplied by some factor. Then we will use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
15x+25
5 * 3x + 5 * 5
5(3x + 5)
