hello,
here is your answer:
**********
2x³ - 3x² - 17x + 30
(2x³ - 3x²) (- 17x + 30) [group the terms]
(2×x×x×x - 3×x×x) (1×-17×x + 1×30) [find common factors]
x² (2x - 3) 1 (-17x + 30) [separate the common factors]
ans: x² (2x - 3) 1 (-17x + 30)
You can verify the answer by multiplying it, you should be able to get the expression we started with (2x³ - 3x² - 17x + 30).

hope this helped,
