Factor the expression 6g^3 + 8g^2 - 15g - 20

The factors are (3g+4) (2g^2-5) ...

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is:

6g^3 + 8g^2 - 15g - 20

Make a group of the first two terms and last two terms:

(6g^3 + 8g^2) - (15g + 20)

Now factor out the common from each group:

2g^2 (3g+4) - 5 (3g+4)

(3g+4) (2g^2-5)

Therefore the factors are (3g+4) (2g^2-5) ...

(3g+4) (2g^2-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

6g^3 + 8g^2 - 15g - 20

Lets factor by grouping

Taking a 2 g^2 out of the first two terms and - 5 out of the last two terms

2g^2 (3g+4) - 5 (3g+4)

Factoring out (3g+4)

(3g+4) (2g^2-5)
