Solution

Factorizing the given expression:
$a x - 5 b + a b - 5 x = a x + a b - 5 x - 5 b (R e a r r a n g i n g t h e t e r m s) = a (x + b) - 5 (x + b) (T a k i n g a a n d - 5 c o m m o n) = (a - 5) (x + b) (T a k i n g x + b c o m m o n)$
Hence, after factorizing we get $a x - 5 b + a b - 5 x = (a - 5) (x + b) .$
