(n-5)(n+3)=0
n^2 -2n-15=0
a = 1, b = -2, c = -15
(-2)^2-4x1x(-15)
= 64
so 64 is your answer:)

Answer:

$n=-2,\:n=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(n+2\right)\left(n+1\right)=0\\\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:n+2=0:\quad n=-2\\n+2=0\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\n+2-2=0-2\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\n=-2\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:n+1=0:\quad n=-1\\n+1=0\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\n+1-1=0-1\\Simplify\\n=-1\\$ $\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\n=-2,\:n=-1$
