Answer:
(x-3)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
the only 2 things that can multiply together to get x^2 is x and x
so you already have the first 2 parts of the factoring
(x±?)(x±?)
to get 15 there are a 2 multipliers
1,15
3,5
if you tried 1,15
(x+15)(x-1)
that wouldnt work because 15-1=14
we need to get to 2
Let's trty 5 and 3
(x+5)(x-3)
5x-3=-15
5-3=2
sorry if my explanation doesnt make sense im terrible at explaining things lol
