Set each factor equal to 0:
(x-60) = 0
x = 60
(x-15) = 0
x = 15
So the x-intercepts are x=15, 60
These stand for the prices that if a store sold the games at, they would not make any money.

so they would be the Max and Min ?

Not really. They are the prices that if they sell games at that price then they will not make any money and they will not lose any money.
