Factor out the coefficient. 1/5 j + 4

Question

I am confused on how to factor it out, and I'm also stuck on the problem. Maybe give me the steps on how to solve the answer and the answer included with it?

Answer 1

Although this problem does not involve common factors, you can still do this:

Suppose you have

AJ + K

and you want to factor out A. Multiply the second term by A/A.

AJ + K = AJ + (A/A)K = A(J + K/A)

Now try applying this to the problem.
