Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (5x2 +  11x) +  2

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  5x²+11x+2 

The first term is,  5x²  its coefficient is  5 .
The middle term is,  +11x  its coefficient is  11 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +2 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   5 • 2 = 10 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  10  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   11 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  1  and  10 
                     5x² + 1x + 10x + 2

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (5x+1)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (5x+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+2)  •  (5x+1)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

  (5x + 1) • (x + 2)
