(2x-1)(2x^2+3)

Explanation:

First, we group the terms like this: (4x^3-2x^2)+(6x-3). We can factor these groups individually: 2x^2(2x-1)+3(2x-1).

Notice that there is a common factor: (2x-1). We can factor this out again: (2x-1)(2x^2+3). Now, we can't really factor this further. So, our answer is (2x-1)(2x^2+3).
