We factor

into binomial factors, looking for two numbers that multiply to make ten but have a difference of 3...5 and 2 are the numbers...since the middle term is -3, we know that our factoring has to have -5, like this...

Then
x = 5 or x = -2

x^2 -3x - 10 = 0
look at prime factors of 10 which are 2 and 5, therefore
x^2 - 3x - 10 = (x - 5) * (x + 2)
