Answer:
5(a+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
expression is equivalent to 5a+20
To get the equivalent expression we need to factor the given expression
5a+ 20
5a can be written as 5 * a
20 can be written as 5*2*2
WE can see that common factor is 5 for both 5a and 20
So GCF is 5
Now we factor out GCF 5
WE put 5 outside and write all the left of factors inside the parenthesis
5a +20
5 (a+2*2)
5(a+4)
