Answer:

first option

Explanation:

Given


(15)/(x) + 6 =
(9)/(x^2)

Multiply through by x² to clear the fractions

15x + 6x² = 9 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

6x² + 15x - 9 = 0 ( divide through by 3 )

2x² + 5x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of x² and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 6 and - 1

Use these factors to slit the x- term

2x² + 6x - x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3) = 0 ← factor out (x + 3) from each term

(x + 3)(2x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = 0.5

Solution set is { - 3, 0.5 }
