6t^2+26t+24=2(3t+4)(t+3)

Explanation:

First we can factoring with 2.
[0]6t^2+26t+24=2(3t^2+13t+12)
Then you can say that 13t is 9t+4, and you can factoring again.
[1]6t^2+26t+24=2(3t^2+9t+4t+12)
[2]6t^2+26t+24=2(3t*(t+3)+4(t+3))
[3]6t^2+26t+24=2(3t+4)(t+3)
You can do it faster if you know how to do an euclidiean division of a polynomial :)
