Final answer:

The expression 10-25t cannot be factored into a product of two simpler expressions with integer coefficients, as it is already in simplified form as a linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing 10-25t as a product of two factors can be seen as finding two expressions that, when multiplied together, yield the original expression. Unfortunately, as written, 10 - 25t does not factor nicely into a product of two simpler expressions using standard algebraic techniques and integer coefficients. It is already in simplified form. This expression represents a linear function, which typically does not have a factorization into two non-trivial polynomial factors unless you treat 10 as 2 * 5 and consider constant factors. Therefore, recognizing that sometimes an expression cannot be factored further is crucial in mathematics.
