x to the 3rd - 2x to the second -15x = 0
------------
Factor:
x^3 - 2x^2 - 15x = 0
---
x(x^2 -2x - 15) = 0
---
x(x-5)(x+3) = 0
x = 0 or x = 5 or x = -3

Here is the problem:

step 1 - lok for any GCF. We have x, so we can rewrite as

step 2 -factor if possible. we get

step 3 - set each (_) = 0 and solve to get
x = 0
x = 5
x = -3

THE GIVEN EQUATION IS
x^3-2x^2-15x = 0
x(x^2-2x-15) = 0
x(x-5)(x+3) = 0
x = 0, 5 , -3
