Answer

$(2v-1)(5v+8)$

Work Step by Step

$10v^{2}+11v-8=$ ...find factors of $ac$ with a sum of $b$. ($ac=-80,\ b=11$) $\left[\begin{array}{lll} \text{Factors of -80} & \text{Sum of factors} & \\ 1\text{ and }-80 & -79 & \\ -1\text{ and }80 & 79 & \\ 2\text{ and }-40 & -42 & \\ -2\text{ and }40 & 38 & \\ 4\text{ and }-20 & -16 & \\ -4\text{ and }20 & 16 & \\ 5\text{ and }-16 & -11 & \\ -5\text{ and }16 & 11 & \text{ is what we need } \end{array}\right]$ ...use the factors you found to rewrite $bx$. $=10v^{2}-5v+16v-8$ ...factor by grouping. $=5v(2v-1)+8(2v-1)$ ...use the Distributive Property. $=(2v-1)(5v+8)$
