Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are factoring the expression
Given
4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.
product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13
the factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the y- term
2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term
= (y + 5)(2y + 3)
Thus
4y² + 26y + 30
= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
