We are asked to simplify the expression $x(x+5) - 2(x+5)$.

1. Problem Description

We are asked to simplify the expression $x(x+5) - 2(x+5)$.

2. Solution Steps

We can factor out the common term $(x+5)$ from both parts of the expression:

$x(x+5) - 2(x+5) = (x-2)(x+5)$

Now, we can expand the expression by using the distributive property:

$(x-2)(x+5) = x(x+5) - 2(x+5) = x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10$

Combine like terms:

$x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = x^2 + 3x - 10$

3. Final Answer

$x^2 + 3x - 10$
