Hey there!

(x - 5)^2

= (x - 5)(x - 5)

= x(x) + x(-5) - 5(x) - 5(-5)

= x(x) - 5(x) - 5(x) - 5(-5)

= x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25


COMBINE the LIKE TERMS

= x^2 - 10x + 25


Therefore, your answer is:

x^2 - 10x + 25


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:

x^2 -10x+25

Explanation:

(x − 5)^2

(x-5)(x-5)

FOIL

first x*x = x^2

Outer -5 *x = -5x

inner -5*x = -5x

last -5*-5 =25

Add them together x^2 -5x-5x+25

Combine like terms x^2 -10x+25
