Question

Rewrite the following sum as a product of the greatest common factor (GCF) and a new sum: 3X + 15

A. 3(X + 5)
B. 3(X + 15)
C. 5(X + 3)
D. 15(X + 3)

Answer 1

To rewrite the sum as a product of the GCF and a new sum, we find the GCF of 3 and 15, which is 3. The correct answer is 3(X + 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the given sum as a product of the greatest common factor (GCF) and a new sum, we need to find the GCF of 3 and 15. The GCF of 3 and 15 is 3. So, we can write the sum as 3(X + 5). Therefore, the correct answer is option A, 3(X + 5).
