Answer: C is the correct factored form of the equation.

To solve this, you can factor the polynomial by grouping. There are numerous ways to do this.

If you are given a multiple choice question like this, you can use the FOIL method to test the answers until you get the correct one.

Choice C with the FOIL method.

(5x + 4)(2x - 1)
10x^2 - 5x + 8x - 4
10x^2 +3x - 4

It is correct!
