Answer

$6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2(5x-4)$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $2(3x-5)\cdot 3(2x+1)^3+(3x-5)^2\cdot 3(2x+1)^2\cdot 2$ $=6(3x-5)(2x+1)^3+6(3x-5)^2(2x+1)^2$ Factor out $6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2$. $=6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2[(2x+1)+(3x-5)]$ $=6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2[2x+1+3x-5]$ Add like terms. $=6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2(5x-4)$ Hence, the completely factored form of the given expression is $6(3x-5)(2x+1)^2(5x-4)$.
