Question

Write an expression that is the product of two factors and is equivalent to negative 5xminus30. Which expression is the product of two factors and is equivalent to negative 5xminus30​?

Answer 1

`-5(x+6)`

Explanation:

We are asked to write an expression that is the product of two factors and is equivalent to
`-5x-30`.

We can see that greatest common factor of both terms is 5 as 5 times 6 is equal to 30.

Let us factor out negative 5 from both terms as:

`-5(x+6)`

Since the expression is product of two factors, therefore, our required expression would be
`-5(x+6)`.
