Answer:

B

Explanation:

expand the brackets

2x² - x + 10x -5 = 3x + 15

combine like terms

2x² + 9x - 5 = 3x + 15

2x² + 6x - 20 = 0

divide through by 2

x² + 3x - 10 = 0

factorise

determine factors of -10x² that would add up to 3x

they are 5x - 2x

(x² -2x) (5x - 10)

x(x - 2) +5(x-2)

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

x - 2 = 0

x = 2
