This is a quadratic equation, and so you it falls under the rule: ax squared + bx + c. This means you need to times the 2x squared by 15, which is 30. Then you need to find the factors of thirty, i.e. 3 and 10, 15 and 2, 5 and 6. You need to find the pair of factors that add to make -13x, which would be -3 and -10. you then need to put these into the equation - it would become 2x squared -10x (as one equation) and -3x +15 would be another equation. we can see that 2x squared and -10x have 2x in common, and so the answer for that would be 2x (x - 5). the second equation would be -3 (x - 5). the two equations have x - 5 in common, and that would make up the first set of brackets. you then add the rest (2x - 3) and your answer would be (x - 5) (2x - 3).
