Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you factor the equation you can see what the solutions are. Two factor a quadratic of the form ax^2+bx+c, find two values which satisfy two conditions...
jk=ac=-15 and j+k=b=-2 so j and k must be -5 and 3 so the factors are:
(x-5)(x+3)
So the other solution is x=5
I did it for you but here is an explanation.
First, categorize each fraction. So like this. Just write it out.
1/2,1/2,1/8,1/8,3/8,3/16,5/16,5/16,5/16,5,16
Then, plot the points according to where each number goes.
