Find the values of x in this equation: x – 15 / x = 2.
a) -7, 3
b) -5, 2
c) -7, 5
d) -2, 5
e) -3, 5

E) -3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x – 15 / x = 2

x^2 - 15 = 2x

x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

x - 5 = 0; x = 5

x + 3 = 0; x = -3

Solutions: -3, 5

For this case we must solve the following equation:

We manipulate the equation algebraically:

To solve, we factor the equation. We must find two numbers that when multiplied by -15 and when summed by -2. These numbers are:

+3 and -5.

So, the roots are:

Option E

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
