Factoring polynomials?

Factor the polynomial by grouping the middle term of an equivalent trinomial has already been written

10s^2+15s+4s+6=

32b^2-20bq+24bq-15q^2

Factor completely

2c^2-7c-14c+49=

3w^2+14w+8

6s^2+29s-42

10c^2-29C+10

Complete the factoring

6a^2+11ab-35b^2=(2a+7b) ( )

I am trying to do a final review and these have me stuck! Can some one please walk me threw how to solve I would greatly greatly apperciate it

    Look for common factor

    10s² + 15s + 4s + 6

    Common factor of (10s² + 15s) is 5s; Common factor of (4s + 6) is 2

    = 5s(2s + 3) + 2(2s + 3)

    = (2s + 3)(5s + 2)

    -----------------

    = 32b² - 20bq + 24bq - 15q²

    = 4b(8b - 5q) + 3q(8b - 5q)

    = (8b - 5q)(4b + 3q)

    ----------------------

    2c² - 7c - 14c + 49

    = c(2c - 7) - 7(2c - 7)

    = (c - 7)(2c - 7)

    ------------------

    3w² + 14w + 8

    I can rewrite as

    3w² + 12w + 2w + 8

    3w(w + 4) + 2(w + 4)

    (w + 4)(3w + 2)

    --------------------

    You can do the rest.

    when something is squared (^2) multiply that number by itself. for example 6a^2 would be this in factored form- 36aa. once you have those, just combine the like terms. whether that's through addition or subtraction
