jhannybean · Answer

$$\begin{align}
\color{red}{3}x^2+5x+\color{red}{2}  \
&= x^2+5x+6 \ \
&= (x+3)(x+2) \  \ 
&=\left(x+\frac{3}{3}\right)\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right) \ \ & \sf \text{divide by the leading coefficient to keep the equation constant} \ 
&\sf \text{simplify whicever fractions you can, and for the ones you cannot} \ 
&\sf\text{ multiply diagonally to the variable.} \ \ 
&=\boxed{(x+1)(3x+2)}
\end{align}$$
