so the easiest way to do this is to multiply out the factors you have there
you know that it needs to multiply out to a positive 25

okay. i think its B.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now also have you go over the list of items that are prime?

because if you multiply 5*-5 you get -25 not +25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this factor is prime, im not sure if you were looking up or waiting for a responce but this one can not be factored

to justify this you can take the only one that will work, or rather come close, would be (x + 5)(x + 5) or (x − 5)(x − 5) and both of these would give you a middle term either -10x or +10x
