Answer:

2(2x-y)(3x-4y)

Explanation:

12x^2 - 22xy + 8y^2

Factor out 2

2 (6x^2 - 11xy + 4y^2)

Consider 6x^2 - 11xy + 4y^2 as a polynomial over variable x.

6x^2 - 11yx + 4y^2

Find one factor of the form kx^m + m, where kx^m divides the monomial with the highest power 6x^2 and n divides the constant factor 4y^2. One such factor is 2x-y. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by this factor.

(2x-y)(3x-4y)

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

2(2x-y)(3x-4y)
