1. **State the problem:** Expand and express the product \((2x+5)(x+10)\) as a trinomial.
2. **Formula used:** Use the distributive property (FOIL method) for binomials: \((a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd\).
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$
(2x+5)(x+10) = 2x \cdot x + 2x \cdot 10 + 5 \cdot x + 5 \cdot 10
$$
4. **Calculate each term:**
$$
= 2x^2 + 20x + 5x + 50
$$
5. **Combine like terms:**
$$
= 2x^2 + \cancel{20x + 5x} + 50
$$
$$
= 2x^2 + 25x + 50
$$
6. **Final answer:** The trinomial is \(2x^2 + 25x + 50\).
