Factor the GCF out of the given expression.
-$$x ( 4 x + 5 ) - 5 ( 4 x + 5 )$$
A) $( x + 5 ) ( 4 x + 5 )$
B) $( x - 5 ) ( 4 x + 5 )$
C) $( x + 5 ) ( 4 x - 5 )$
D) $( x - 5 ) ( 4 x - 5 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common factor is (4x + 5), so we can factor it out to get:

$$x ( 4 x + 5 ) - 5 ( 4 x + 5 ) = (4x+5)(x-5)$$

The only choice that matches this expression is B, so it is the correct answer.

Factor the GCF Out of the Given Expression x(4x+5)−5(4x+5)x ( 4 x + 5 ) - 5 ( 4 x + 5 )x(4x+5)−5(4x+5)
