6y2-23y+15

For a polynomial of the form ax2+bx+c, rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is ac=615=90 and whose sum is b=-23.

6y2-5y-18y+15

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(6y2-5y)-18y+15

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

y(6y-5)-3(6y-5)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 6y-5.

(6y5)(y3)
