Answer:

6(p + 5)(p + 10)

Explanation:

6p² + 90p + 300 ← factor out 6 from each term

= 6(p² + 15p + 50) ← factor the quadratic

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 50) which sum to give the coefficient of the p- term (+ 15)

the factors are + 5 and + 10 , then

p² + 15p + 50 = (p + 5)(p + 10)

and

6p² + 90p + 300

= 6(p + 5)(p + 10)
