ACT Prep in 1 MINUTE | ACT Math practice problem #23 #shorts

Today's question is about factoring a trinomial when the leading coefficient is not 1. Doing this directly was very hard to explain fully in under a minute so I had to resort to distributing the answers to get the original. If you are a factoring trinomial pro, please be the first (or later) to explain the direct solution to this question in the comments below.

Took too much to do all of that!!
Here is my take
5*6 =30=15*2 and -15+2=-13.
(5x-15)/5 * (5x+2)
(X-3)(5x+2)
🤟🏻

I haven't done math in a whole semester so I'm kinda screwed but to factor doesn't the x² term have to be alone so you would divide the whole equation by 5?
