The Zero Product Property says that if two factors multiply to give zero, then at least one factor must be zero itself. Your job is to rewrite the left side as a product of two binomials, then use that property to find both solutions. Think about which two numbers multiply to $-30$ and add to $-1$ — that's your key to factoring.
