Open in App
Solution

Step 1: Given expression is = 9-5x

We will now find the G.C.F of (9),(15x) is

9=3×315x=3×5×x

The common prime factor is 3

The G.C.F of (9),(15x) is 3

Using the GCF to factor the expression

9-15x=3(3)-3(5x){Rewritetheexpression}=3(3-5x){Distributiveproperty}

Hence, the required answer is 3(3-5x).
