Step 1.1

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

$(15 a - 12 b) - 5 a p + 4 b p$

Step 1.2

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

$3 (5 a - 4 b) - p (5 a - 4 b)$

Step 2

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, $5 a - 4 b$ .

$(5 a - 4 b) (3 - p)$
