    You're aware that

    ... (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a+b) x + ab

    so

    ... (x + a) ² = x² + 2ax + a²

    With this in mind, you notice that 25 is the square of a prime, so that is your first clue that the trinomial is a square. The last bit of information you need for that conclusion is that the coefficient of x satisfies

    ... 10 = 2√25 = 2·5

    Now, you know ...

    ... x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5) ² = (x + 5) (x + 5)

    The two binomials are both (x+5).
