Use the FOIL Method,
%28c%2B1%2F2%29%28c%2B1%2F5%29=c%2Ac%2Bc%2F5%2Bc%2F2%2B%281%2F2%29%281%2F5%29
%28c%2B1%2F2%29%28c%2B1%2F5%29=c%5E2%2B%281%2F5%29c%2B%281%2F2%29c%2B1%2F10
%28c%2B1%2F2%29%28c%2B1%2F5%29=c%5E2%2B%281%2F5%2B1%2F2%29c%2B1%2F10
Find the common denominator for 2 and 5 and simplfy the c term to complete the solution.
