Answer:

Explanation:

Look for the GCF and then divide every term by the GCF to see what remains

(9) 5a - 25 ( GCF is 5 so take out 5 and divide every term by 5)

5(a-5)

(10) 28 - 7x ( GCF is 7 so take out 7 and divide every term by 7)

7(4-x)

(11) 12z + 28 - 7z - 3= (combine terms) =

5x+25( GCF is 5 so take out 5 and divide every term by 5)

5(x+5)
