Which is a solution to the equation?

(x-3) (x-5) = 35

x=-8

x=-5

0 x=2

3 = 10

x = - 2 OR x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3) (x-5) = 35

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x2-8x+15=35

Step 2: Subtract 35 from both sides.

x2-8x+15-35=35-35

x2-8x-20=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2) (x-10) = 0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or x-10=0

x=-2 or x=10
