Let's factor the top and the bottom.
Top factors 4x + 20 = 4(x + 5)
Bottom x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
The gcf is the largest value that will go into both the top and the bottom. In our problem the ONLY thing that will go into top and bottom is x + 5 so that is your GCF. (c)

False
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.
(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)
From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.
Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200
==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.
==> a + b = 800.
Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now.
