Answer:

The answer to your question is (y + 6)(10y - 6)

Explanation:

Data

factor 10y² + 54y - 36

Process

1.- Multiply 10 by 36

10 x 36 = 360

2.- Find the prime factors of 360

360 2

180 2

90 2

45 3

15 3

5 5

1

3.- Using the prime factors look for two numbers that added gives 54

these numbers are 5 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 60 and 2 x 3 = -6

4.- Write the equation using these numbers

10y² + 60y - 6y - 36

5.- Factor by grouping

10y(y + 6) - 6(y + 6)

6.- Factor by common term

(y + 6)(10y - 6)
