The polynomial is .
First find the coefficients of the x-terms;
\Find two numbers with a product of 2 and 25 is 50 and a sum is 15.
\So, the two coefficients must be 5 and 10 since and (5 + 10)= 15.
(Rewrite the expression using coefficients)
Apply associative property of addition: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.
\Find the Greatest Common factor (GCF) of each group.
\Greatest Common factor (GCF) of is 2x.
Greatest Common factor (GCF) of is
