Which is a solution to the equation? (x - 3) (x - 5) = 35 x = - 8 x = - 5 x = 2 x = 10

X=10

You need to evaluate the equation.

Multiply x-3 with x-5. This should give you: x^2-8x-20=0 once you combine like terms and move 35 to the left side. Using the AC method, you create two different equations for the quadratic equation.

(x-10) (x+2) = 0 and solve for both. x=-2,10

Since - 2 is not listed, then 10 would be the correct answer.
