I think it would be something like this since you forgot to put the answer choices
(5x+2) (x+3)

Answer:

The factored form of given expression is (x+3)(5x+2).

Explanation:

The given expression is


P(x)=5x^2+17x+6

Middle term can be written as 15x+2x.


P(x)=5x^2+15x+2x+6


P(x)=5x(x+3)+2(x+3)

Take out the common factors.


P(x)=(x+3)(5x+2)

The factors of given expression are (x+3) and (5x+2).

Therefore the factored form of given expression is (x+3)(5x+2).
