To factor the given expression completely, we start by simplifying it. The expression can be rewritten by combining like terms:
25x² - 25x + 6x - 25x + 6 + 6 - 5x + 6 - 5x + 6
After combining the x terms, we have:
25x² - 25x - 5x + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6
Now simplifying the constants:
25x² - 25x - 5x + 24
This results in:
25x² - 30x + 24
Next step is to factor the quadratic expression. We can look for two numbers whose product is (25 * 24) = 600 and whose sum is (-30). The numbers are -24 and -6. We can rewrite the middle term:
25x² - 24x - 6x + 24
Now factoring by grouping, we group the first two and the last two terms:
(25x² - 24x) + (-6x + 24)
Factoring out the common terms from each group, we get:
x(25x - 24) - 6(25x - 4)
Thus, the expression can be factored as:
(25x - 24)(x - 6)
Therefore, the completely factored form of the expression is:
(25x - 24)(x - 6)
