Answer

$(x+1)(2x+1)(5x-6)$

Work Step by Step

$ 10x^{2}(x+1)-7x(x+1)-6(x+1)\qquad$...factor out the common term, $(x+1)$ $=(x+1)(10x^{2}-7x-6)$ ... Searching for two factors of $ac=-60$ whose sum is $b=-7,$ we find$\qquad 5$ and $-12.$ Rewrite the middle term and factor in pairs: $=(x+1)(10x^{2}+5x-12x-6)=$ $=(x+1)[5x(2x+1)-6(2x+1)]$ =$(x+1)(2x+1)(5x-6)$
