Multiple choice algebra. full answer would be so helpful

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate these things in parenthesis using the Zero Product Property. Let's start with the shorter one:

2x + 5 = 0

Solve for x:

2x = -5

x = -5/2

This is one solution, so we can cross out answers B and D.

Next, solve the next one:

3x^2 - 16x + 5 = 0

We need to factor it first. Factor by grouping, separating the -16x:

3x^2 -x - 15x + 5

x(3x-1) - 5(3x-1)

When we factor the left two terms independently of the right two terms, we get 3x-1 in both! Simplify to

(x-5)(3x-1)

Now separate these by the zero product property.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

3x - 1 = 0

3x = 1

x = 1/3

The answer should be x= -5/2, x= 5, x= 1/3. I can only assume the answer is C and there's a typo.

x=30
