Answer:

D  In step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial:  x² - 2x - 15 = 0

Step 1:  factor the polynomial ⇒ (x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

Step 2:  x + 3 = 0  and  x - 5 = 0

Step 3:  x = -3  and x = 5

x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

⇒ x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

⇒ x = 5

Stels [109]

Answer:

80 Students were surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we need to do a Rule of Three. The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that will help us to solve problems based on proportions.

1. I know that a 65% of students are 52 students. I need to know how many students represent that 100%.

2. So if 52 students mean _____ 65%

             X students mean  _____ 100%

Pay attention here. We have to put the same elements in the same columns. Students with studients and percentage with percentage.

3. Now I have to cross these details. I have to multiple 52*100. So:

52*100= 5200

4. Then divide that result by 65.

5200/65= 80

5. So 80 is the total number of students surveyed.

You would add up the ones taking math, science, and both. Then subtract that from 147. Then divide that by 147, then times by 100. This wouldn't work because 95 + 73 = 168.
