Break the trinomial into two binomials and solve for x in each of the binomials

$x^2 + 15x + 50 = ( x +5)xx( x +10 )$ so

$(x + 5) xx ( x +10 ) = 0$

$x + 5 = 0$ subtract 5 from both sides

$x + 5 - 5 = 0 -5$

$x = 5$

$x + 10 = 0$ subtract 10 from both sides

$x + 10 -10 = 0-10$

$x = -10$

The values for x are -5.-10
