To determine which equation has the solution set \( x = {-\frac{9}{5}, 3} \), we need to check each option one by one to see which one produces these roots.

  1. Equation: \((x-3)(9x+5)=0\)

    To find the solutions, set each factor to zero:

    • \(x - 3 = 0 \implies x = 3\)
    • \(9x + 5 = 0 \implies 9x = -5 \implies x = -\frac{5}{9}\)

    This gives us the solution set \( x = {3, -\frac{5}{9}} \), which does not match.

  2. Equation: \((x-3)(5x+9)=0\)

    Set each factor to zero:

    • \(x - 3 = 0 \implies x = 3\)
    • \(5x + 9 = 0 \implies 5x = -9 \implies x = -\frac{9}{5}\)

    This gives us the solution set \( x = {3, -\frac{9}{5}} \), which matches.

  3. Equation: \((x+3)(9x-5)=0\)

    Set each factor to zero:

    • \(x + 3 = 0 \implies x = -3\)
    • \(9x - 5 = 0 \implies 9x = 5 \implies x = \frac{5}{9}\)

    This gives us the solution set \( x = {-3, \frac{5}{9}} \), which does not match.

  4. Equation: \(-3x(5x+9)=0\)

    Set each factor to zero:

    • \(-3x = 0 \implies x = 0\)
    • \(5x + 9 = 0 \implies 5x = -9 \implies x = -\frac{9}{5}\)

    This gives us the solution set \( x = {0, -\frac{9}{5}} \), which does not match.

Thus, the equation that has the solution set \( x = {-\frac{9}{5}, 3} \) is:

(x−3)(5x+9)=0.
