Answer:


(x+2)(8x-3)

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
8x^2+13x-6. We are asked to factor our given expression.

We will use splitting the middle term method to factor our given expression. We need to numbers whose sum is 13 and whose product is
-48. We know such two numbers are
16\text{ and }-3.


8x^2+16x-3x-6

Make two groups:


(8x^2+16x)+(-3x-6)

Factor out greatest common factor of each group:


8x(x+2)-3(x+2)


(x+2)(8x-3)

Therefore, the factored form of our given expression would be
(x+2)(8x-3).
