Answer:

The correct answer is , Option D. (5x - 1)(x + 7)

Explanation:

Answer:

The correct answer is , Option D. (5x - 1)(x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is,

5x(x + 7) - (7 +x) -----(1)

From this we can write,

5x(x + 7) - (x + 7) ----(2)

we can see that in equation (2) (x + 7) is common

Therefore we can write,

(x + 7)(5x - 1)

(5x - 1)(x + 7)

Therefore the correct answer is , Option D. (5x - 1)(x + 7)
