factor 6x^2-13x+5 or just multiply the choices
The signs have to both be negative to give a negative second term and a positive third term. That excludes a and b.
D is the answer.
x^2-13x+30
(x-10)(x-3)
divide by 6
x-(10/6))(x-(3/6))
Reduce to lowest terms
x-(5/3) and x-(1/2)
place the denominator of the fraction in front of the x
(3x-5)(2x-1)
D
