Q. Which values of x are solutions of the equation x5=6x+13 ? Select all that apply.A. □−15B. □15C. □2D. □−3E. □−10F. □x5=6x+131
Simplify the equation: Now, simplify the equation. 30=x2+13x
Move terms and set to zero: Next, move all terms to one side to set the equation to zero. x2+13x−30=0
Factor the quadratic equation: Now, factor the quadratic equation. (x+15)(x−2)=0
Set factors equal and solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.x+15=0 or x−2=0
Solve first equation: Solve the first equation. x=−15
Solve second equation: Solve the second equation. x=2
Check solutions: Check the solutions in the original equation to make sure they don't cause division by zero or any other issues.For x=−15:−155=6−15+13−31=−62−31=−31, which is true.
