Answer: 15(6x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation: Jamar had a great start, by figuring out the factors of both 90 and 15; of which he picked 15.

What he got wrong was failing to do same to the value 15 exactly what he did to 90x.

To put it right, here is how to go about it:

90x - 15

Factor of both 90 and 15 is 15

Therefore:

15 (6x - 1)

This is correct. You can as well expand the result to check.
