Answer:
I can't English language better but I think this is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-40=x^2-2x-15
0=x^2-10x+25
0=x^2-5x-5x+25
0=x(x-5) -5(x-5)
0=(x-5)(x-5)
::x=5
2.5 times
To compare the two quantities, find a common denominator.
1/5 is 2/10 of sugar.
1/2 cup of flour is 5/10 of flour.
There is almost 3 times as much flour as sugar. 5/ 2 = 2.5. It is 2.5 times as much.
The answer is A
