MathBot Answer:

Evaluated



\(\displaystyle x\left( a - 5 \right) + y\left( 5 - a \right) = x \left(a - 5\right) + y \left(5 - a\right) \)


Expanded

\[x\left( a - 5 \right) + y\left( 5 - a \right) = a x - a y - 5 x + 5 y\]


Factored

\[x\left( a - 5 \right) + y\left( 5 - a \right) = \left(a - 5\right) \left(x - y\right)\]
