Answer:
Statement expressed by Trent is RIGHT.

Explanation:
Here, the given expression is:
( to show) :

Now, as we know by DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:
A (B + C) = AB + AC
Consider the RHS of the expression:
(p +30)(p+0) = (p +30)(p) ............ ( a + 0 = a for all a)
Simplifying (p +30)(p) by distributive property, we get:

⇒ Left side = Right side
Hence, statement expressed by Trent is RIGHT.
