Answer

(x+25)(x+2)

Work Step by Step

Given the polynomial $x^{2}$ + 27x +50 *** We break of the middle term into two factors that add to give +27 and multiply to give +50. The two numbers are +25 and +2. $x^{2}$ + 25x + 2x +50 We take the GCD of the first two and the GDC of the last two terms. x(x+25) +2(x+25) We take (x+25) and factor it out which gives us. (x+25)(x+2)
