Factor the sum of terms as a product of the GCF and a sum.
\[ 10y + 15 \]
Answer (2)
To factor the given expression, we can find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms and then rewrite the expression as a product of the GCF and a sum.
In this case, the GCF of 10y and 15 is 5. So, we can rewrite the expression as: 5(2y + 3).
Therefore, the expression can be factored as the product of the GCF (5) and the sum (2y + 3).
To factor the expression 10 y + 15 , we find the greatest common factor, which is 5. The expression can then be rewritten as 5 ( 2 y + 3 ) . This represents the GCF and the sum of the new terms.
