 (1): "y2"   was replaced by   "y^2". 

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (22y2 -  16y) +  15

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  4y²-16y+15 

The first term is,  4y²  its coefficient is  4 .
The middle term is,  -16y  its coefficient is  -16 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +15 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • 15 = 60 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  60  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -16 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -10  and  -6 
                     4y² - 10y - 6y - 15

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    2y • (2y-5)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (2y-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (2y-3)  •  (2y-5)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

  (2y - 5) • (2y - 3)
