Question

What’s 5x + 5 factored?

Answer 1

Answer:

5(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So factor is to make it simplified like x(y+c) {I made up random variable for an example but almost all factored problems look like this}

So first find the Greatest Common Factor or GCF for short

The GCF between 5x and 5 is 5

So you divide the whole thing by 5

5x+5/5

you’d get x+1

Now for the 5 just put it around X+1 but with parenthesis

5(x+1)
