$\Rightarrow 2x + x^2 = 15$
$\Rightarrow x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^2+ 5x - 3x - 15 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x + 5) (x - 3) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = -5, 3$ value of $x$ is not negative, so $x = 3.$

Which of the following equations has $x = 2$ as a solution?
  • A
    $x + 2 = 5$
  • $x - 2 = 0$
  • C
    $2x + 1 = 0$
  • D
    $x + 3 = 6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x - 2 = 0$
To get solution as $x = 2$, solve each equation.
For option $(a),$
$x + 2 = 5$
$\Rightarrow x = 5 - 2$ [transposing $+2$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
For option $(b)$,
$x - 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ [transposing $-2$ to $RHS$]
For option $(c)$,
$2x + 1 = 0$
$2x = -1$ [transposing $+1$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}$ [dividing both sides by $2$]
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-1}{2}$
For option $(d)$,
$\Rightarrow x + 3 = 6$
$\Rightarrow x = 6 - 3$ [transposing $+3$ to $RHS$]
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
Therefore, we get $x = 2$ as a solution in option $(b)$ only.
Hence, $(b)$ is correct option.
