One factor will have 3a while the other will have a. The third term can be obtained by either the product of 8 and 1 or 4 and 2. To get a negative middle term (-10) with a positive end term, both have to be negative.

I cannot find factors for the above formula.

However, if it were 3a^2 - 10a - 8, it would factor into (3a + 2)(a - 4).

Do you have a typo?

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
