I will give you a hint Ruchi, 15=5 into 3, now can you answer?

That was a pretty broad hint, and those who've not been doing math for some time might find it a little intimidating!
So Ruchi, here's what you typically do.
We factorize the equation given as (x - 5) * (x - 3) [To be fair to you, this method wasn't covered in the course; and, to be fair to the course tutors, this method was already taught in algebra classes in high school:)]
From the above equation, it's clear that the roots are 5 and 3.
