Answer:


\displaystyle [p + 2][p - 15]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two quantities that when differed to 13, they also multiply to 30. Those will be 2 and 15. The TINIER quantity gets the plus sign because the B-value is −13, therefore 15 gets the minus sign, leaving 2 with the plus sign.

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
