First, you should simplify the function expression.

 

3(x2 + 10x + 5) - 5(x-k) = 3x2 + 30x + 15 - 5x + 5k = 3x2 +15x +15 +5k

 

In order for the polynomial to be divisible by x, all terms need to divide by x with no remainder.  The first two terms clearly divide by x.  However, the last two do not.  In order for this to work out where k is constant, 5k would have to cancel out the  +15 term, leaving nothing to divide by x.

 

So: 15 + 5k = 0

 

5k = -15

k = -3
