Question
Factorize:
$5 x-15 x^2$
$5 x-15 x^2$
✓
Answer
The greatest common factor of the terms $5 x$ and $15 x^2$ of the expression $5 x-15 x^2$ is $5 x$
Now,
$5 x=5 x \cdot(-1) \text { and }-15 x^2=5 x \cdot(-3 x)$
Hence, the expression $5 x-15 x^2$ can be factorised as $5 x(1-3 x)$
Now,
$5 x=5 x \cdot(-1) \text { and }-15 x^2=5 x \cdot(-3 x)$
Hence, the expression $5 x-15 x^2$ can be factorised as $5 x(1-3 x)$
