Question

Which expression is the factored form of −1.5w+7.5 ?

1.5(5+w)

1.5(w−5)

−1.5(w−5)

−1.5(w+5)

Answer 1

c is right

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option C is correct

`-1.5(w-5)`

Explanation:

The distributive property says that:

`a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c`

Given the expression:

`-1.5w+7.5`

`-1.5w+(-1.5)(-5)`

Apply distributive property:

`-1.5(w-5)`

therefore, the factored form of the given expression is:

`-1.5(w-5)`
