Answer: 15 with a remainder of 3
Steps to solve:
5x² = 15x
~Subtract 15x to both sides
5x² - 15x = 15x - 15x
~Simplify
5x² - 15x = 0
~Factor left side
5x(x - 3) = 0
~Factors equal 0
5x = 0 and x - 3 = 0
___________
~Simplify 5x = 0
5x/5 = 0/5
x = 0
~Simplify x - 3 = 0
x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
x = 3
___________
Thus, the correct answer is 0, 3.

Answer:
The crayon is about 3 times longer than the paper clip.
The nearest inch: is 3
The nearest 1/2 inch, 3 1/2
The nearest 1/4 inch, 3 1/4
To find this, just plug the numbers into the expressions.
5x = y
5(2) = 7
10 = 7
So it can't be A.
x + 2 = y
2 + 2 = 7
4 = 7
x + 4 = y
2 + 4 = 7
6 = 7
2x + 3 = y
2(2) + 3 = 7
7 = 7
The correct answer is
D. 2x + 3
