the answer is #2(x-7)(x+5)#

Explanation:

first you have to take out(aka find what they have in common) which would be #2# so you'll have #2(x^2-2x-35)# and now you have to worry about the parenthesis and factor so you'll now have #(x-7)(x+5)# but you still have the #2# so you have to put that at the front first.
