Answer by scott8148(6628)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3 only has one set of factors , 3 and 1 ___ so the first terms of the two binomial factors are 3x and 1x
now you have to find factors of -15 that can "combine" with the the 3x and 1x to give -4x
___ like -3 and 5
(3x + 5)(x - 3)
