Answer:

(x + 5)(3x + 7)

Explanation:

Given

3x² + 22x + 35

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 3 × 35 = 105 and sum = 22

The factors are + 15 and + 7

Use these factors to split the x- term

= 3x² + 15x + 7x + 35 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3x(x + 5) + 7(x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5) from each term

= (x + 5)(3x + 7) ← in factored form
