8z%5E2-4z%2B10z-5 Start with the given expression

%288z%5E2-4z%29%2B%2810z-5%29 Group like terms


4z%282z-1%29%2B5%282z-1%29 Factor out the GCF 4z out of the first group. Factor out the GCF 5 out of the second group


%284z%2B5%29%282z-1%29 Since we have the common term 2z-1, we can combine like terms

So 8z%5E2-4z%2B10z-5 factors to %284z%2B5%29%282z-1%29
