Answer:

p(q-1)

Explanation:

P is the common factor in both the terms, so remove that to go outside the brackets.

What goes inside the brackets depends on what the quotient is when you divide both terms by p.

Hers,

pq becomes q

p becomes 1

THe negative sign remains there because he divide the is positive. (One positive and one negative make a negative)

Hope this helps
