So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
