-----------------
Use the AC Method.
Think of two numbers whose product is AC = -60 and whose sum is B = -7.
-----------------------------------
The numbers are -12 and 5
-----------------------------
Replace -7x with 5x-12x to get:
30x^2+5x-12x-2
----------------------
Factor the 1st two and the last two terms separately:
5x(6x+1)-2(6x+1)
--------------
Factor again to get the final answer:
(6x+1)(5x-2)
