(x-6) (x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the factors of the expression, split the quadratic into two binomials which multiply to make it of the form (x+a) (x+b). To find a and b, find two numbers that multiply to 36 and add to - 15. These two numbers are - 6 and - 9. Then write in the form (x-6) (x-9).
