I found the dot plots that accompanies this problem.
Based on the plots, the <span>statement that gives is a valid comparison of the number of candies in the bags of the two Brands is:
</span><span>B. The number of candies in the bags from Brand B is greater and less consistent than the number of candies in the bags from Brand A.
Dots in Brand B are scattered and whereas dots in Brand A are not and they are more concentrated between 52 to 55 range. </span>

Answer:
k = - , k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0
Given
kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )
kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is
kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form
with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus
(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side
4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0
- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form
(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for k
3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = -
k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
