I Think it should be
3x^2+25x+50
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula

a= 3 b= 25 c= 50

b^2-4ac= 625 - -600
b^2-4ac= 25
= 5

x1=( -25 + 5 )/ 6
x1= -3.33 -3 1/3
x2=( -25 -5 ) / 6
x2= -5 -5
x = -3.33 mph
(x+5)(x+3.33)

The direct way is to use the quadratic formula to find the roots
The formula is:

when the form of the equation is:

and

The roots are and
I can rewrite the solutions as:
and

And If I multiply these together:

Expanding:

Multiply both sides by

So the factors of the equation are:
and
