If -3 and -5 are the two numbers whose sum is -8 and product is +15, then algebraic expression will be ______?

Answer: x^2 + 8x + 15
Explanation

Given:

Sum of numbers = -8

Product of numbers = 15

The algebraic expression representing this is:

x^2 - (sum)x + (product) = 0

x^2 - (-8)x + 15 = 0

x^2 + 8x + 15 = 0

The correct answer is: x^2 + 8x + 15
