Answer

$(2a-3)(5a+1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=10a^2-13a-3$ Rewrite $-13a$ as $-15a+2a$. $=10a^2-15a+2a-3$ Group the terms. $=(10a^2-15a)+(2a-3)$ Factor each group. $=5a(2a-3)+1(2a-3)$ Factor out $(2a-3)$. $=(2a-3)(5a+1)$ Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $(2a-3)(5a+1)$.
