Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To start, lets form our polynomial factors from our zeroes.
x = -2
x + 2 = 0
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Now lets put these into factored form by moving them into parenthesis and multiplying them with each other!
(x+2)(x-5)
We can start moving them out! I am going to use FOIL, but you could also use distributive or any other method/property.
x · x = x²
x · -5 = -5x
x · 2 = 2x
2 · 5 = 10
Now lets put our terms into our polynomial function, based on the order of the powers.

We are done! Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option E is correct.
12 pairs of socks and 15 pairs of shorts did team buy each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pairs of socks be x and the number pairs of shorts be y.
As per the statement:
Last year, the volleyball team paid $5 pair for socks and $17 per pair for shorts on a total purchase of $315.
⇒
.....[1]
It is also given that: This year they spent $342 to buy the same number of socks and shorts, because the socks now cost $6 a pair and the shorts cost $18.
⇒
.....[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 6 both sides we get;
.......[3]
Multiply equation [2] by 5 both sides we get;
.....[4]
Subtract equation [4] from [3] we get;

Divide both sides by 168 we get;
y = 15
Substitute the given values of y =15 in [1] we get;
5x+17(15) = 315
5x + 255 = 315
Subtract 255 from both sides we get;
5x = 60
Divide both sides by 5 we get;
x = 12
Therefore, 12 pairs of socks and 15 pairs of shorts did team buy each year.
