Answer
$$(3x + 2)(x + 5)$$
Work Step by Step
First, we take the coefficient of the first term and take its factors and put them first in the parentheses:
$($3x $)$ $($x $)$
Since the last term is positive, this means that the operations within the two parentheses should be two plus signs:
$($3x$ + ) $(x$ + )$
Now, we check the factors for the last term to see which one would fit. The factors for $10$ are $10$ and $1$ and $5$ and $2$. It seems like $5$ and $2$ would fit:
$$(3x + 2)(x + 5)$$
We check by the FOIL method to make sure. According to the FOIL method, we multiply the first terms, then the outer, then the inner, and, finally, the last terms:
$$3x^2 + 2x + 15x + 10$$
Combine like terms to simplify:
$$3x^2 + 17x + 10$$
We see that this equation is the same one we were factoring, which means that our factoring was correct.
