    The answer to your question is (d + 2) (3d - 5)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3d² + d - 10

    Multiply the first term (3) by the third (-10) = 3 x - 10 = - 30

    Find the prime factors of - 30

    -30 2

    -15 3

    -5 5

    1

    Then, - 30 = 2 x 3 x 5

    Find two numbers that added gives + 1 and multiply gives - 30. These numbers are 6 (2 x 3) and - 5

    Write the mid term as the addition of the numbers got.

    1d = 6d - 5d

    Write the polynomial as these terms

    3d² + 6d - 5d - 10

    Factor by grouping 3d (d + 2) - 5 (d - 2)

    Factor by grouping again (d + 2) (3d - 5)

    Now, the polynomial is factor completely.
