\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%5E3%2B10x%5E2%29%2B%28-5x-25%29\" Group like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%28x%2B5%29-5%28x%2B5%29\" Factor out the GCF \"2x%5E2\" out of the first group. Factor out the GCF \"-5\" out of the second group\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%5E2-5%29%28x%2B5%29\" Since we have the common term \"x%2B5\", we can combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"2x%5E3%2B10x%5E2-5x-25\" factors to \"%282x%5E2-5%29%28x%2B5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"2x%5E3%2B10x%5E2-5x-25=%282x%5E2-5%29%28x%2B5%29\"
