Answer: First option
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the quadratic equation given in the problem:

To find an equivalent expression you cacn factorize. Find two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is -30.
These numbers would be -15 and 2.
Therfore, you obtain the following equivalent expression:

If you don't want to apply the method above, you can use the quadratic formula:

Where:

When you susbstitute values you obtain that:

Then you can rewrite the equation as 
We need to see the "given system".
Answer:
x = 177/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must get rid of the fraction by multiplying 8 by both sides.
8 · 1/8(8x + 15) = 24 · 8
1(8x + 15) = 192
8x + 15 = 192
Then we simplify. First subtract 15 from both sides.
8x + 15 - 15 = 192 - 15
8x = 177
Then divide 8 from both sides.
8x/8 = 177/8
x = 177/8
Answer:
25x² − 20x + 4
Explanation:
(5x − 2)²
= (5x + −2)(5x + −2)
= (5x)(5x) + (5x)(−2) + (−2)(5x) + (−2)(−2)
= 25x² − 10x − 10x + 4
= 25x² − 20x + 4
30 is your mystery answer :)
