Answer

$x=15$ and $x=-2$

Work Step by Step

Factor the trinomial: \begin{align*} (x-15)(x+2)&=0 \end{align*} Use the Zero-Product Property by equating each factor with a variable to zero, then solve each equation: \begin{align*} x-15&=0 &\text{or}& &x+2=0\\\\ x&=15 &\text{or}& &x=-2\\\\ \end{align*}
