Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 3x - 5x - 15 = 0

x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0

Therefore, x + 3 = 0

x = 0 - 3 = -3

Also, x - 5 = 0

x = 0 + 5 = 5

Therefore, the solutions to x² - 2x - 15 = 0 is x = -3 and x = 5. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Find the value of y when x equals -1.<br><br> 8x - 2y =10

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute in -1 for x

8(-1) - 2y = 10

-8 - 2y = 10

Subtract -8 from both sides

-8 - (-8) cancels out to 0

10 - (-8) = 18

We are left with:

-2y = 18

Divide by -2 on both sides.

-2y/-2 = y

18/-2 = -9

y = -9
