divide by 3: 3(6x2 + 13x - 5)

Look for factors of 6 which can be multiplied by factors of -5 and added to give 13.

Factors of 6: 1 & 6; 2 & 3;

Factors of -5: -1 & 5; -5 & 1

the last and first ones give 3 x -5 = -15 and 2 x 1 = 2, total 13 so:

3(3x - 1)(2x + 5) = 3(6x2 - 2x + 15x - 5) = 18x2 + 39x - 15

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
