Answer
$$x(x - 5)^2$$
Work Step by Step
For this expression, we can see that we can factor an $x$ from the expression to get:
$$x(x^2 - 10x + 25)$$
Next, we need to see what combination of factors for the constant term added together will equal the middle term. Let's look at the factors for $25$:
$25$ and $1$ or $-25$ and $-1$
$5$ and $5$ or $-5$ and $-5$
Since the middle term is negative, we need to look at the negative factors. It seems like $-5$ and $-5$ might work. We come up with the following factors for this expression:
$$x(x - 5)(x - 5)$$ or $$x(x - 5)^2$$
