Answer:  -15 and 2

You find this through trial and error.

A much more efficient way is to solve x^2-13x-30 = 0 using the quadratic formula. You'll find the two solutions to be x = 15 and x = -2

Going from those solutions, we get x-15 = 0 and x+2 = 0 which then turn into (x-15)(x+2) = 0 through the zero product property.
