To verify which expression is equivalent to \( (x−5)(x−3) \) using the Distributive Property, we can expand the expression:
\[
(x - 5)(x - 3) = x(x - 3) - 5(x - 3)
\]
\[
= x^2 - 3x - 5x + 15
\]
\[
= x^2 - 8x + 15
\]
Now, let's compare our result \( x^2 - 8x + 15 \) with the provided responses. The equivalent expression is:
**x² − 8x + 15**
