Answer:

The answer is

2( x + 3)(x - 5)

Explanation:

To factor the expression

2x² - 4x - 30

First factor 2 out of the expression

That's

2( x² - 2x - 15)

Next write - 2x as a difference

2( x² + 3x - 5x - 15)

Factor out x from the expression

That's

2 [ x( x + 3) - 5x - 15 ]

Factor out -5 from the expression

2 [ x ( x + 3) - 5( x + 3) ]

Factor out x+3 from the expression

We have the final answer as

2( x + 3)(x - 5)

Hope this helps you
