For this case we have the following expression:


5(y-6)

We observe that the number 5 is a common factor of both terms within the parenthesis.

To prove it, we can apply the distributive property.

We have then:


5y-30

We observe then that 5 is a common factor of the given expression.

Answer:

An algebraic expression that is a product with a factor of 5 is:

A) 5 (y-6)
