When you have problem like this you have to figure out what two numbers  ADD to 11 and multiply to 30???       15 and 2 multiply to 30....but they do not ADD to 11   

                      10 and 3 ?  Nope

                        6 and 5 ?   YES!

SO you can FACTOR it out to look like this

 

x^2+11x+30 =  (x+5)(x+6)   

If you multiply it out you will find it is correct!  G'luck!
