2x^2 + 13x + 15 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(2x + )(x + ) = 0 both plus sign due to positive 13 and 15
\n" ); document.write( "Find multiple of 15 that when one is multiplied by 2 will add to 13
\n" ); document.write( "5,3 works since 2*5=10 + 3*1 = 13
\n" ); document.write( "(2x + 3)(x + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3=0 so x= -3/2
\n" ); document.write( "x+5=0 so x= -5
\n" ); document.write( "....
\n" ); document.write( "Check with FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 10x + 3x + 15 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 13x + 15 = 0
