Simplify the rational expression. Select "Cannot be simplified" if applicable. \[ \frac{5 c-10}{2-c}=\square \]

To simplify the rational expression: \[ \frac{5c - 10}{2 - c} \] **Step 1: Factor the numerator and denominator.** - **Numerator:** \(5c - 10 = 5(c - 2)\) - **Denominator:** \(2 - c = -(c - 2)\) **Step 2: Substitute the factored forms back into the expression.** \[ \frac{5(c - 2)}{-(c - 2)} \] **Step 3: Simplify by canceling out the common factor \((c - 2)\).** \[ \frac{5 \cdot \cancel{(c - 2)}}{- \cdot \cancel{(c - 2)}} = \frac{5}{-1} = -5 \] **Note:** This simplification is valid as long as \(c \neq 2\), because if \(c = 2\), the original expression would be undefined due to division by zero. **Final Answer:** \(-5\)
