Answer:
The solutions are B. -4 and C. -5
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] the solutions are
[tex]x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
For [tex]\mathrm{}\quad a=3,\:b=27,\:c=60:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{27^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:60}}{2\cdot \:3}[/tex]
[tex]x_1=\frac{-27+\sqrt{27^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:60}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_1=\frac{-27+\sqrt{9}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_1=\frac{-27+3}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_1=\frac{-24}{6} = -4[/tex]
[tex]x_2=\frac{-27-\sqrt{27^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:60}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_2=\frac{-27-\sqrt{9}}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_2=\frac{-27-3}{2\cdot \:3}\\\\x_2=-\frac{30}{6} = -5[/tex]
