Answer:

x² - 2x - 15

This is the third answer choice

Explanation:

(x + 3)(x - 5) can be multiplied using the FOIL method: First, Last, Outer, Inner

First: x · x = x²

Outer: x(-5) = -5x

Inner: (3)(x) = 3x

Last: 3 (-5) = -15

Adding everything we get
x² - 2x - 15

This is the third answer choice

Answer:

  • C) x² - 2x -15

Explanation:


\tt (x+3)(x-5)

Use the FOIL method:-


\boxed{\tt \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd}


\tt x^2-5x+3x-15

Combine like terms:-


\tt x^2+(-5x+3x)-15

Simplify:-


\tt x^2-2x-15

Therefore, C) x² - 2x -15 is our answer.
