To factor the expression, find something that both terms have in common. It could be a number, a letter, or a product of the two.
Given expression:
[tex]\sf{-2x^2+10x}[/tex]
In this case, both terms have a -2x in common, so we factor it out by dividing -2x^2 and 10x by -2x. Pay attention to the signs.
[tex]\underline{\underline{\sf{-2x(x^2-5)}}}[/tex]
