For this case, we must find the solutions of the following quadratic equation:


x ^ 2-35 = 2x

Rewriting the form
ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0we have:


x ^ 2-2x-35 = 0

To factor, we must find two numbers that add -2 and multiply -35.

These numbers are:

-7 and 5


(x + 7) (x-5) = 0

Thus, the solutions are:


x = -7\\x = 5

Answer:

Option A
