The Special Product Formula for the “product of the sum and difference of terms” is A+BAB=A2B2. So, 5+x5x=25x2

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Apply the special product formula of “product of the sum and difference of terms”.

If A and B are any real numbers or algebraic expressions, then

A+BAB=A2B2

Step 2. Analyze the given expression.

Given 5+x5x

Here width="82" style="max-width: none; vertical-align: -4px;" A=5,B=x

Step 3. Solve the expression.

Substitute the values in the product of the sum and difference of terms formula to get:

5+x5x=52x25+x5x=25x2
