Answer 2

(5x-3)(4x+5) the last step you have to look at the two terms that you are adding together the 4x(5x-3) and the 5(5x-3) and see what is similar. well the whole bracket is the same the 5x-3 so factor that out and collect the other leftover terms so the 4x and the +5 and thats what goes in the second bracket
