Answer: The required factored form of the given expression is [tex](x-6)(2y+5).[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to factorize the following expression :
[tex]E=2xy+5x-12y-30~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
We will be using the following property :
[tex]a(b+c)+d(b+c)=(a+d)(b+c).[/tex]
From expression (i), we have
[tex]E\\\\=2xy+5x-12y-30\\\\=x(2y+5)-6(2y+5)\\\\=(x-6)(2y+5).[/tex]
Thus, the required factored form of the given expression is [tex](x-6)(2y+5).[/tex]
