Rewrite each term as - 5 multiplied by some factor.
- 5(d-6)
Practice makes perfect
Let's rewrite each term as a product of - 5 and some other factor. To do so, note that the product of two negative numbers gives a positive number.
1{\text{-} 5d &= {\color{#FD9000}{\text{-} 5}} \cdot d\\[0.5em]
30 &= {\color{#FD9000}{\text{-} 5}} \cdot (\text{-} 6) }
Now we can use the Distributive Property to factor the expression. Let's go!
