Answer:
(x−3)(x−5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's factor x2−8x+15
x2−8x+15
The middle number is -8 and the last number is 15.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -8
Multiply together to get 15
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -3 and -5:
-3+-5 = -8
-3*-5 = 15
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -3 and -5 to get...
(x-3)(x-5)
