C.5(3x- 2)
D.15(x- 2)​

Answer 1

Answer: 5(3x-2) - Choice [C]

Explanation:

Hii, do you need to factor the expression 15x-10? Np! (:

Note that 15x and -10 have a 5 in common.

To factor it out, we divide 15x and -10 by 5

3x-2 is what we obtain

Next we put parentheses around 3x-2

(3x-2) is what we obtain.

Finally, we put 5 outside the parentheses

5(3x-2)

Voila! There's our answer, cheers! (:
