Factor out the GCF from the polynomial.
-14p + 7q - 7
A)7(2p + q)
B)7p(2 + q - 1)
C)No common factor
D)7(2p + q - 1)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common factor between the three terms is 7. Factoring it out, we get 7(2p + q - 1). Option D is the only one that matches this factorization. The GCF of the terms 14p, 7q, and -7 is 7. We can factor out a 7 from each term to get 7(2p + q - 1). Therefore, the correct choice is D.
