Answer:


n(3n^2+9n-10)

Explanation:

Well you'll notice each of the components in the equation have a factor of "n". Each of them are being multiplied by at least one "n". This means we can factor out this "n" to get the following result:
n(3n^2+9n-10)

This is just the reverse of the distributive property:
(a+b)c=ac+bc except you're going from ac + bc -> (a+b)c
