I’m homeschooled and need help with algebra. I understand most of what to do in the problems but I can’t figure out this one.  
Factor: 2x^2+5x-3  
I tried to use Factoring calculator here:

> **[Factoring Calculator](https://www.numberempire.com/factoringcalculator.php?function=2x%5E2%2B5x-3)**
>
> Factoring Calculator

And I’ve got : (x+3)_(2_x-1)  
Seems like it is the right answer, because textbook shows me the same.  
But I really need help on this and I would really appreciate a step by step way to do this so I can understand what to do in these situations in the future.

Thanks in advance.
