Answer:

(p+5)(p-2)

Explanation:

We are looking for two numbers that multiply to -10 (the rightmost number) and sum to 3 (the middle number)

These are 5 and -2

So we write

(p ____)(p ____)

and fill in the blanks

(p+5)(p-2)

Check by FOILing:

p^2 -2p + 5p -10

And combine the two middle terms.

p^2 + 3p - 10
