Answer:

It's the third option (it's correct with you)

Explanation:

- X - 15

So here we should the common factor between - x and - 15, where it is - 1 because both of these have minus in common.

Then the answer is:

-X - 15

= - 1 ( x + 15)

Hope this helps you..

Good Luck!

Answer:

3rd Option: -1(x + 15)

Explanation:

When we factor our a negative 1, we take the opposite signs of what is given:

-1(x + 15)

To check, we simply just redistribute to check if it matches the original expression:

-x - 15

So the 3rd option is the correct choice.
