Answer:
x = 10 or x = 5 thus: B is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 - 15 x = -50
Add 225/4 to both sides:
x^2 - 15 x + 225/4 = 25/4
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 15/2)^2 = 25/4
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 15/2 = 5/2 or x - 15/2 = -5/2
Add 15/2 to both sides:
x = 10 or x - 15/2 = -5/2
Add 15/2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 10 or x = 5
