Factor 5x+2

Problem

5*x+2

Solution

1. Identify the terms in the expression, which are 5*x and 2

2. Determine if there is a greatest common factor (GCF) other than 1 for the coefficients 5 and 2

3. Observe that 5 and 2 are relatively prime, meaning their only common factor is 1

4. Conclude that since there are no common variables or numerical factors, the expression cannot be factored further over the set of integers.

Final Answer

5*x+2=5*x+2
