The answer is -4x+64+2x^2
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

Answer:
The 6% simple interest account earns more interest in 2 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can compare the multipliers in the interest formulas.
For simple interest, the amount in the account (A) starting with principal P and earning at rate r for t years will be ...
A = P(1 +rt)
For the values given, r=.06 and t=2, the multiplier is ...
1 +rt = 1 +.06·2 = 1.12
__
For interest compounded annually, the amount will be ...
A = P(1 +r)^t
For the given values, the multiplier is ...
(1+r)^t = (1.04)^2 = 1.0816
__
Since 1.12 > 1.0816, the account earning simple interest will earn more interest.
