I have a problem written as "5x - 45xy."
The directions for it say "Write in factored form. (Pull out the greatest common factor)"
I don't know how I would get the answer for this problem. Could someone explain to me how I would get the answer?
((you can give the problem answer in your general answers, if this helps to explain it))
Thanks.

5x is the greatest common factor
therefore
5x - 45xy
5x(1 - 9y)
.

it would be 5x(1-9y)
find the GCF first. then factor it. the question would be in un-distributive property form.
