Answer

$(2g-1)(g-17)$

Work Step by Step

$2g^{2}-35g+17=$ ...find factors of $ac$ with a sum of $b$. ($ac=34,\ b=-35$) $\left[\begin{array}{lll} \text{Factors of 34} & \text{Sum of factors} & \\ 1\text{ and }34 & 35 & \\ -1\text{ and }-34 & -35 & \text{ is what we need } \end{array}\right]$ ...use the factors you found to rewrite $bx$. $=2g^{2}-g-34g+17$ ...factor by grouping. $=g(2g-1)-17(2g-1)$ ...use the Distributive Property. $=(2g-1)(g-17)$
