OpenStudy (confxsedaf):

ok you need to know that 2*5=10 and 5+2=7 so you have to rewrite it

2x^2+5x+2x+5 like this

I was thinking maybe its A?

OpenStudy (confxsedaf):

no.

Ok then lets keep going!

OpenStudy (confxsedaf):

you have to factor out common terms so you have x(2x+5)+(2x+5) then once you factor out 2x+5 you get (2x+5)(x+1)
