Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to factor the equation out you would get

(x-5x)(15-3)

Simplify it to

x(1-5) -3(-5-1)

Use FOIL to check answer

Answer 2

Answer:

C. (x - 3)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the form x² + bx + c. Find the a pair of integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. In this case, whose product is 15 and whose sum is -8.

-5, -3

write the factored formusing these integers,

(x - 3)(x - 5)
