Complete Question:

Mr. Phen's monthly income can be represented by the expression 25 x + 120 where x is the number of hours worked. Factor the expression 25 x + 120.

Answer:

The factored expression for 25 x + 120 is 5(5 x+120).

Explanation:

Given expression:

25 x + 120

Write the prime factorisation for the given equation ,

`25 x=5 * 5 * x`

`120=40 * 3=4 * 10 * 3=2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 3`

Mark the common factors from both, so that the G.C.F for that given as

The G.C.F of 25 x and 120 is 5

Therefore, the factored expression for 25 x + 120 is 5(5 x+120).
