Question #89363

Answer 1

`5(x+2)`

Explanation:

Factoring, which is the opposite of distributing involves looking for a common factor (think finding the GCF).

Looking at `5x+10`, we can factor out a common term `5` (since both `5` and `10` are divisible by `5`) and rewrite this expression as:

`5(x+2)`

We can verify this by using the distriubtive property:

`5(x+2)=5*x+5*2=5x+10`
