Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x - 31 = 23 - x ( add x to both sides )
6x - 31 = 23 ( add 31 to both sides )
6x = 54 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 9
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
We notice a factor of 2x in both
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
trial and error
(5x-3)(x+1) yeilds 5x^2+2x-3, nope
(5x+3)(x-1) yeilds 5x^2-2x-3, nope
(5x-1)(x+3) yeilds 5x^2+14x-3, nope
(5x+1)(x-3) yeilds 5x^2-14x-3, nope
simplest form is
2x(5x^2+4x-3)
