Answer

$2(4g+3)(g-2)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=8g^2-10g-12$ Factor out $2$. $=2(4g^2-5g-6)$ Rewrite $-5g$ as $3g-8g$. $=2(4g^2+3g-8g-6)$ Group the terms. $=2[(4g^2+3g)+(-8g-6)]$ Factor each group. $=2[g(4g+3)-2(4g+3)]$ Factor out $(4g+3)$. $=2(4g+3)(g-2)$ Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $2(4g+3)(g-2)$.
