Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first step is to take out all the common factors. In this case, you have common factors of 2 and x.
2x(4x^2 - 3x -1)
Next, see if the trinomial factors (and it does!):
2x(4x +1)(x-1)
If you need additional explanation and help with factoring common factors OR factoring trinomials, check out my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Look for the link on my main page that says, "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Then select "Basic Algebra" and look in Chapter 2 for the factoring sections. There you will find detailed explanations, examples, and exercises written in a format that is easier to understand than the traditional textbooks.
