Hi,
Divide both terms by 3. 3 will be the GCF.
15x - 3
-----...--- =
..3....3
3(5x - 1)
I hope that helps!! :-)

the only way to factor this is to take a factor of 3 out of 15 and the 3 because that's the highest factor common to both
so 15x - 3 can be factored into 3(5x-1)

Factor 3(5x-1)
You dont need this but x=(1/5) or .2

you can take a factor of 3 out:
3(5x-1)
