Exercise 27 Page 421

Find the product of the common prime factors.

5(2x-7)

Practice makes perfect
To use the Distributive Property in reverse, we have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) between the terms. 10x&=2 * 5 * x 35&= 5 * 7 In this case, the GCF is the only common prime factor, 5. Let's factor out the GCF for our expression.
10x- 35
5 * 2x - 35
5 * 2x - 5* 7
5(2x-7)
