Answer

$2y(2x-y)(3x-7y)$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=12x^2y-34xy^2+14y^3$ Factor out $2y$. $=2y(6x^2-17xy+7y^2)$ Rewrite $-17xy$ as $-14xy-3xy$. $=2y(6x^2-14xy-3xy+7y^2)$ Group terms. $=2y[(6x^2-14xy)+(-3xy+7y^2)]$ Factor from each group. $=2y[2x(3x-7y)-y(3x-7y)]$ Factor out $(3x-7)$. $=2y(3x-7y)(2x-y)$ Rearrange. $=2y(2x-y)(3x-7y)$.
