Exercise 24 Page 421

Find the product of the common prime factors.

5(x+1)

Practice makes perfect
To use the Distributive Property in reverse, we have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms. 5x&= 5 * x 5&= 5 In this case, the GCF is the only common prime factor, 5. Let's factor out the GCF for our expression.
5x+5
5 * x+5
5 * x+5 * 1
5(x+1)
