Question and choices are in the photo please explain the answer

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5)(2x-1)=3(x+5)

Multiply the parentheses

2x^2 - x + 10x - 5 = 3x + 15

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 9x - 5 = 3x + 15

Move the expression to the left hand side and change its sign, then equate it to 0

2x^2 + 9x - 5 - 3x -15 = 0

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 6x - 20 = 0

Divide each term of the equation by 2

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Rewrite the expression in factorized form

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = 0

Factor the expression

x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) (x - 2) = 0

Separate into possible cases but when the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0.

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

x - 2 = 0———-equation (2)

Solve the equations

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

Make x the subject

x = 0 - 5

x = -5

x - 2 = 0———equation (2)

Make x the subject

x = 0 + 2

x = 2

Hence, the possible values of x are -5 and 2.
