Answer:
We can start by simplifying both sides of the equation:
5x² + 18x = 25x + 15 + 3x²
2x² - 7x - 15 = 0
Now we need to factor this quadratic equation:
2x² - 7x - 15 = (2x + 3)(x - 5)
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions:
2x + 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
Solving for x, we get:
x = -3/2 or x = 5
Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation are x = -3/2 and x = 5.
So, the correct answer is (x - 5)(2x+3).
