Multiple Choice

A manufacturing technician is using a polynomial model to calculate material waste. The model reduces to the expression x2+2x5x10x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10. To factor this by grouping, the terms are first paired as (x2+2x)(x^2 + 2x) and (5x10)(-5x - 10). Based on the steps for factoring by grouping, what is the correct action to take with the second pair, (5x10)(-5x - 10), to ensure it shares a matching binomial factor with the first pair?
