Question

Factor the expression.
10x + 25
(Factor completely.)

Answer 1

5(2x+5)

Explanation:

A factor is something that multiplies to get something else, so these two terms 10x and 25 have the 5 in common so that can be factored, and I can't factor it further so the answer is 5(2x + 5)

Answer 2

5(2x+5)

Explanation:

This is the answer because the highest multiple is 5 for both of them.

so since it is 5 divide both numbers by 5 put 5 outside the parenthisis and

then divide the numbers inside

this will give you - 5(2x+5)

Hope it helps :)
