$\huge\boxed{\text{The $5$ needs to be negative.}}$

Since the first binomial is
(x-5) , the
is negative and must be that way when using the table.

Here's the corrected table:

$\begin{array}c\multicolumn{1}{c}{}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{3x}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{1}\\\cline{2-3}x&3x^2&x\\\cline{2-3}-5&-15x&-5\\\cline{2-3}\end{array}\\\\\\3x^2+x-15x-5\\3x^2-14x-5$
