    1st factor is 3x:

    = 3x (x² - 8x + 15)

    2nd & 3rd factors:

    x² - 8x + 15 = 0

    x² - 4x = - 15 + ( - 4) ²

    x² - 4x = - 15 + 16

    (x - 4) ² = 1

    x - 4 = 1

    = x - 4 - 1, = x - 5

    = x - 4 + 1, = x - 3

    Answer: 3x (x - 5) (x - 3) are the factors.

    Proof:

    = 3x (x - 5) (x - 3)

    = 3x (x² - 5x - 3x + 15)

    = 3x (x² - 8x + 15)

    = 3x³ - 24x² + 45x
