Question

drag numbers to use a negative factor to factor the expression (-5g + 15h - 25). numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all. (\boxed{g - \boxed{h + \boxed{}}}) (with number options: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify negative GCF

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms $-5g$, $15h$, and $-25$ is $5$. We need a negative factor, so we use $-5$.

Step2: Divide each term by $-5$

For $-5g$: $\frac{-5g}{-5} = g$
For $15h$: $\frac{15h}{-5} = -3h$
For $-25$: $\frac{-25}{-5} = 5$

Step3: Rewrite as factored expression

Combine the negative factor and the resulting terms: $-5(g - 3h + 5)$

Answer:

$-5(g - 3h + 5)$
