    the factors are (5x-2) and (x+2)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5x^2 + 8x - 4

    first we multiply 5 and - 4 = - 20

    product is - 20 and sum is + 8

    find out two factors whose product is - 20 and add upto + 8

    10 * (-2) = 20

    10 + (-2) = 8

    5x^2 + 10x-2x - 4

    group the terms and factor out GCF

    (5x^2 + 10x) + (-2x - 4)

    5 (x+2) - 2 (x+2)

    (5x-2) (x+2)

    the factors are (5x-2) and (x+2)
