To factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression (10x – 15), we first identify the GCF of the coefficients (10 and 15).

The GCF of 10 and 15 is 5. Now, we can factor 5 out of both terms:

1. (10x) divided by (5) gives (2x).
2. (15) divided by (5) gives (3).

So, we can rewrite the expression as:

[10x – 15 = 5(2x – 3)]

Thus, the factored form is (5(2x – 3)).
