Answer:

(b-5)(b-3)

Explanation:

To factor this equation we have to find 2 numbers that combine to equal -8 and multiply together to equal 15

these numbers would be -3 and -5

after that you just put them in an equation like so:

(b-5)(b-3)

you can check your work by just multiplying those back together

If you want future explanation on how to do this just ask

hope this helps :D
