Answer:
5(8a + 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
40 and 45 can both be divided by 5, so this is a common factor.
-> 40 divided by 5 is 8
[] It has a variable, so it will be 8a
-> 45 divided by 5 is 9
Our final answer is 5(8a + 9)
-> To check we can multiply it out, 5 * 8a is 40a, 5 * 9 = 45
-> This works
