To solve Part A, we need to factor the quadratic equation \( 15x^2 + 13x + 2 = 0 \).
1. Start by identifying two numbers that multiply to \( 15 \times 2 = 30 \) and add up to \( 13 \). The numbers that satisfy this are \( 10 \) and \( 3 \).
2. Rewrite the equation using these numbers:
\[
15x^2 + 10x + 3x + 2 = 0
\]
3. Now, group the terms:
\[
(15x^2 + 10x) + (3x + 2) = 0 \\
5x(3x + 2) + 1(3x + 2) = 0
\]
4. Factor by grouping:
\[
(5x + 1)(3x + 2) = 0
\]
The correct factoring for Part A is:
**(5x + 2)(3x + 1) = 0**.
Now, for Part B, we find the solutions to the equation \( (5x + 2)(3x + 1) = 0 \).
1. Set each factor to zero:
\[
5x + 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5x = -2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{2}{5}
\]
\[
3x + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3x = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{1}{3}
\]
Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 15x^2 + 13x + 2 = 0 \) are:
**x = -\frac{2}{5} and x = -\frac{1}{3}**.
None of the provided response options match the correct answers from the analysis. It seems likely that there might be an error either in the provided options or possibly a misunderstanding about the original equation coefficients.
If looking for roots that are in the forms presented:
Check each option:
1. **x = 23 and x = 15**
2. **x = -23 and x = 15**
3. **x = -23 and x = -15**
4. **x = 23 and x = -15**
Since neither the factored results nor the roots equate to the forms listed, please confirm the original equation or refer to the full details of the options provided.
