Answer: Choice [D]

Explanation:

Hii, do you need to factor the expression "-5x+20"? Let me help you out! (:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Note that -5x and 20 have a -5 in common. Let's factor it out! (:

To factor it out, we first need to divide -5x and 20 by -5.

⚜ x-4 ⚜

is what we obtain

Next we put parentheses around -x+4

(x-4)

is what we obtain

Now, we put 5 outside the parentheses

-5(x-4)

Hope I helped! Best wishes.
