    x=5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Factoring x2 - 2x - 15 we get

    (x+3) (x-5) so x+3=0 and x-5=0 or x=-3 and x=5

    x=5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

    Factor

    What 2 numbers multiply to - 15 and add to - 2

    -5*3 = - 15

    -5+3 = - 2

    (x-5) (x+3) = 0

    Using the zero product property

    (x-5) = 0 x+3 = 0

    x-5+5 = 0+5 x+3-3 = 0-3

    x=5 x=-3
