Answer:
(y - 1)(5y - 2)

Solution:

Factor:
2 - y(7 - 5y)

Apply the Distributive Property:
2 - 7y + 5y²

Reorder the expression:
5y² - 7y + 2

Rewrite the term:
5y² - 5y - 2y + 2

Regroup terms into two proportional parts:
(5y² - 5y) + ( -2y + 2)

Factor Greatest Common Factors out:
5y(y - 1) - 2(y - 1)
(y - 1)(5y - 2)
