Answer 6

The only problem is that (x+5)(x-3)=x^2+2x-15 not -x^2-2x+15

Answer 7

So perhaps you should adjust your answer.

Answer 8

(x+3)(x-5) to get the signs right

Answer 9

i've divide both side by -1

Answer 10

(x+3)(x-5)=x^2-2x-15 not -x^2 -2x-15

Answer 11

it's (x+5)(x-3) not (x+3)(x-5)

Answer 12

oh ok gotcha

Answer 13

wait... the x in the equation is negative, so wouldn't one of the x's be negative in the factored part?

Answer 14

\[-x^2-2x+15=-1(x^2+2x-15)=-1(x+5)(x-3)\]

Answer 15

So:
-1(x+5)(x-3)=0
