We start with:
y=2x-15
y=5x
Now, we have a perfectly set-up variable we can get rid of: <em>y.</em>
But we need to make either the top or bottom equation negative, so for simplicity, let's make the bottom one negative.
y=2x-15
(-y)=(-5x)
Now simplify.
-3x-15=0
Add 3x on both sides.
3x=15
Divide by 3 on both sides.
x=5

Yes to solve this problem you need to factor it. I would start by factoring the N out first. Hope this helps!
Half the x-coefficient is -3, so the equation needs to be rearranged into a form that looks like
x² -6x +(-3)² + [something]
You can get there by adding and subtracting 9 from the original equation.
y = x² -6x +9 +7 -9 . . . . . 9 added and subtracted
y = (x² -6x +9) -2
The quantity in parentheses is a perfect square, so we can write the equation in the desired form as ...
y = (x -3)² -2
