Answer:
2x^2 - x - 15 = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
In factor form this is
(x + 5/2)(x - 3) = 0
x^2 + 5/2x - 3x - 15/2 = 0
x^2 - 1/2x - 15/2 = 0
Multiply through by 2:
2x^2 - x - 15 = 0.
Wym their was no growth rate it lost 53,500 in those 15 years at a rate of about 3,566 a year
Find the GCF of both numerator and denominator and then divide both the denominator and numerator by that and you will get the simplified fraction.
