Answer:
p = 2 or p = -15 the answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for p:
p^2 + 13 p - 30 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(p - 2) (p + 15) = 0
Split into two equations:
p - 2 = 0 or p + 15 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
p = 2 or p + 15 = 0
Subtract 15 from both sides:
Answer: p = 2 or p = -15
