Answer

Final Answer: \(\boxed{(x + 2)(x + 3)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The given expression is a quadratic equation of the form \(ax^2 + bx + c\). To factorize it, we need to find two numbers such that their sum is equal to the coefficient of \(x\) (which is 5 in this case) and their product is equal to the constant term (which is 6 in this case).

Step 2 :The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are 2 and 3. Therefore, the factored form of the given expression is \((x + 2)(x + 3)\).

Step 3 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{(x + 2)(x + 3)}\)
