Answer:

they share 5x-2 as common factor

Explanation:

10x² + 26x – 12 and 2(5x – 2)(x – 3)

10x² + 26x – 12 take 2 as common factor

2(5x²+13x-6) factorize

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

they share 5x-2 as common factor

Answer:

(5x-2)

Explanation:

first factor the quadratic equation

10x²+26x-12 by factoring out the gcf of 2

2(5x²+13x-6) to factor the quadratic, first multiply ac (5)(-6)

find factors of -30 that multiply to give you -30 and add to give you the middle term 13.

factors -2, 15

take your leading term 5x and put it over the 2 factors, then reduce when necessary. it is not necessary to use the 5x² because the x in the denominator cancels one out)

5x/-2 and 5x/15 (this one can be reduced to x/3

(5x-2)(x+3) are the factors.

the shared factor is (5x-2)
