Answer 1

$▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪$

The equivalent expression is ~

• ${x}^{2} - 7x + 10$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

• $(x - 2)(x - 5)$

• $\small(x \times x) + (x \times - 5) + ( - 2 \times x) + ( - 2 \times - 5)$

• ${x}^{2} - 5x - 2x + 10$

• ${x}^{2} - 7x + 10$

Answer 2

Answer:

x² -7x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use the FOIL method: (a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd.

x² -5x - 2x + 10

2) Collect like terms.

x² + (-5x -2x) + 10

3) Simplify.

x² -7x + 10
