8x%5E2%2B54x-45+.....replace 54x with -6x%2B60x
8x%5E2-6x%2B60x-45+.....group the first two terms together and the last two terms together like this:
%288x%5E2-6x%29%2B%2860x-45%29+.......Factor a 2x out of the first group and factor a 15 out of the second group.
2x%284x-3%29%2B15%284x-3%29+
%282x%2B15%29%284x-3%29+
