To factor the expression $-15x - 25$ using the greatest common factor (GCF), we first need to identify the GCF of the coefficients $-15$ and $-25$. The GCF of $-15$ and $-25$ is $5$. Now, we can factor out $5$: $$ -15x - 25 = 5(-3x - 5) $$ So, the correct factorization is: **5(−3x − 5)** Thus, the response is: **5(−3x − 5)**
