To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF), we need to first find the greatest common factor of the two terms.
The GCF of -15 and -25 is 5.
To factor out the GCF, we divide each term by the GCF:
(-15x) ÷ 5 = -3x
(-25) ÷ 5 = -5
Therefore, the factored form of -15x - 25 using the GCF is:
5(-3x - 5)
Factor −15x − 25 using the GCF. (1 point)
