Make the factors of 25..
Can you do it??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5x5=25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes you have done half the part..
Now we should want the sum = -10
so by 5 and 5 how will you make it -10 by adding??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
See, what is the result if I add -5 with -5??

-10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and what is the factor
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes you got it..
So -5 -5 are the two numbers..
Expression is:
\[x^2 - 10x +25\]
Now split -10x according to the two numbers calculated..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
See like this:
\[x^2 - 10x + 25 = x^2 -5x - 5x + 25\]
Now take x common..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5+-5is equal to -10
so what is the answer

Take the common from that expression that i have written above..
See,
what will you take common in:
\[x^2 - 5x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how can you take 5??
\[x^2 - 5x -5x + 25 = x(x-5)-5(x-5) = (x-5)(x-5)\]
