Joshua Mack · Answer 1

2 (x + 1) (x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the GCF (greatest common factor). Each term has 2 in common. Factor the 2 out of each term. 2 (x² - 6x + 5)

Next you need to solve inside the parenthesis with an x-puzzle. 2 (x+1) (x-5)

Check your answer by multiplying. You should get the expression you began with. 2x² - 12 + 10
