1.5(w−5)

1.5(5+w)

−1.5(w−5)

Answer 1

4. -1.5(w-5)

Explanation:

`- 1.5w + 7.5 \\ - 1.5(w - 5) \\`

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(d) −1.5(w−5)

Explanation:

The signs of the two terms are different. That will still be true of the factored form. If you factor out a minus sign, then the constant in parentheses becomes negative.

-1.5w +7.5 = -1.5(w -5)
