Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (((2x2 -  x) -  10) +  2x) -  5

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  2x²+x-15 

The first term is,  2x²  its coefficient is  2 .
The middle term is,  +x  its coefficient is  1 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -15 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -15 = -30 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -30  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   1 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -5  and  6 
                     2x² - 5x + 6x - 15

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

Final result :

  (2x - 5) • (x + 3)
