2v(5v^2-3)

Step-by-step explanation


10v^3-6v

Step 1

Find the GCF

factorize each term


\begin{gathered} 10v^3-6v \\ 10=5v\cdot2v \\ 6=3\cdot2v \\ so,\text{ the GCF is 2}v \end{gathered}

Step 2

divide each term by the GFC, and multiply to not modify the expression


\begin{gathered} 10v^3-6v\rightarrow2v((10v^3-6v))/(2v) \\ 10v^3-6v=2v((10v^3)/(2v)-(6v)/(2v)) \\ 10v^3-6v=2v(5v^2-3) \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
