Matias · Answer 1

Answer: (x-5) (x-5) or (x-5) ²

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-b) (a-b) = a² - 2ab + b²

→ x² - 10x - 25

→ √25 = 5

so a = x, b = 5

this gives us (x-5) (x-5)

Ainsley Compton · Answer 2

(x-5) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you must solve the expression (x-5) 2 as the form (a-b) 2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

So it becomes x2-10x+25
