Use the general rule that says
+%28+a+%2B+b+%29%2A%28+c+%2B+d+%29+=+a%2Ac+%2B+b%2Ac+%2B+a%2Ad+%2B+b%2Ad+
First, factor out all the 5's
+%285x%2B5%29%285x%2B5%29+=+5%2A%28+x+%2B+1+%29%2A%28+x+%2B+1+%29+
Using the above general rule:
+%285x%2B5%29%285x%2B5%29+=+5%2A%28+x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+x+%2B+1+%29+
+%285x%2B5%29%285x%2B5%29+=+5%2A%28+x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+1+%29+
+%285x%2B5%29%285x%2B5%29+=+5x%5E2+%2B+10x+%2B+5+%29+
