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, we can see that \((x−5)(x−3)\) simplifies to:
\[
x^2 - 8x + 15
\]
Thus, the expression that is equivalent to \((x−5)(x−3)\) is:
\[
\boxed{x^2 - 8x + 15}
\]
