3s^2-10st-8t^2 how do you factor this?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

Hint: break down the middle term into 3s^2 - 12st + 2st - 8t^2 factor out :D

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well, if it will factor, it has to start like this: (3s t )(s t)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The factors of 8 are only 2, 4 and 1, 8. So there aren't too many things to try.
