Answer:

(x + 10)(2x + 5)

Explanation:

Given

2x² + 25x + 50

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term (ac) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (b)

ac = 2 × 50 = 100 and b = 25

The factors are + 20 and + 5

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 20x + 5x + 50 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 10) + 5(x + 10) ← factor out (x + 10) from each term

= (x + 10)(2x + 5)
