x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring  x2 - 2x – 15 we get

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 2x – 15 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -15 and add to -2

-5*3 = -15

-5+3 = -2

(x-5) (x+3) = 0

Using the zero product property

(x-5) =0   x+3 =0

x-5+5 =0+5      x+3-3 = 0-3

x=5                  x=-3
