Can I factor this equation?

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x^2+13x-30[/tex]
Find two numbers that multiply to -30 and add up to 13
In this case those two numbers are 15 and -2
[tex]15*-2=-30[/tex]
[tex]15+(-2)=13[/tex]
Now that these two numbers are found set them both in their own parenthesis plus x
[tex](x+15)(x+(-2))[/tex]
Simplify the signs
[tex](x+15)(x-2)[/tex]
Your answer is
[tex](x+15)(x-2)[/tex]
