Question

3p^2-2p-5 pls factor step by step

Answer 1

(3p - 5)(p+ 1)

Explanation:

3p^2 -2p -5

find two factors that:

multiply to get= -5p^2, add to get = -2p

which is -5p and -3p

then substitute into the equation.

(3p^2 - 5p) + (3p - 5)

(3p^2 + 3p) - (5p + 5)

simplify the equation.

3p(p + 1) -5(p + 1)

= (3p-5) (p + 1).
