Answer:

C) 2(4x² + 5x - 4) is your answer

Explanation:

Factor out common factors from all terms.

Note the factors for 8 & 10:

8: 1, 2, 4, 8

10: 1, 2, 5, 10

2 is the largest common factor, and so factor out 2

8x² + 10x - 8 = 2(4x² + 5x - 4)

C) 2(4x² + 5x - 4) is your answer

Note that you cannot factor out anymore common factor numbers or variables.
