2m^2-13m+15
= 2m^2-15m + 2m + 15
= (2m -15)(m +1) (after factorizing)

Hi

 2m^2-13m+15=0

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

x+=+%2813+%2B-+sqrt%28+49+%29%29%2F%284%29+

   x+=+%2813+%2B-+7%29%2F%284%29+

   x = 20/4  and x = 6/4  = 3/2

    2(m-5)(m-3/2) = 0

   Note:SUM of the outside terms(-5m) and the inside terms(-1.5m) = -6.5m

                                                     2*-6.5m = -13m
