Answer:
[tex]p=- \frac{15}{2}[/tex]
[tex]p=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2p^2+11p=30[/tex]
Subtract 30 on both sides.
[tex]2p^2+11p-30=30-30[/tex]
[tex]2p^2+11p-30=0[/tex]
Factor left side of the equation.
[tex](2p + 15)(p-2)=0[/tex]
Set factors equal to 0.
[tex]2p+15=0[/tex]
[tex]2p=-15[/tex]
[tex]p=\frac{-15}{2}[/tex]
[tex]p-2=0[/tex]
[tex]p=2[/tex]
