Documenting the Factoring Process for Shelf Dimensions

As an inventory analyst, you are creating a training guide on calculating shelf dimensions modeled by polynomial expressions. Write a brief procedure that recalls the specific step-by-step process used to factor the expression x2+2x−5x−10x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 by grouping. In your response, explicitly state how the four terms are initially grouped into pairs, identify the greatest common factor (GCF) extracted from each pair, and state the final completely factored form.
