Answer

$(2w-5)(5w-3)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=10w^2-31w+15$ Rewrite $-31w$ as $-25w-6w$. $=10w^2-25w-6w+15$ Group the terms. $=(10w^2-25w)+(-6w+15)$ Factor each group. $=5w(2w-5)-3(2w-5)$ Factor out $(2w-5)$. $=(2w-5)(5w-3)$ Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $(2w-5)(5w-3)$.
