Question

Nalani says the expression 2+5x cannot be factored using the GCF. Is she ​correct? Explain why or why not

Answer 1

It would be B, I’m pretty sure. Because 1 is not really considered a common factor, because it doesn’t change the expression. 2 doesn’t go into 5, and nor does 5 into two. So she is correct, that there is no common factors between the two.

Answer 2

Nalani is incorrect because the expression 2 + 5x can be fact using the GCF so she is very incorrect
