2x^2+7x-15
----------------
Using the AC Method to factor:
Think of two numbers whose product is ac = 2*-15 = -30
and whose sum is b = 7
-----------------------------------------
The numbers are 10 and -3
----------------------------
Replace 7x by 10x-3x to get:
2x^2 + 10x - 3x - 15
-------------------------
Factor the 1st two and the last two terms separately:
2x(x+5)-3(x+5)
Factor again to get the final answer:
(x+5)(2x-3)
