Answer:

Option (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression given in the attachment,

[tex]x-\frac{15}{x}=2[/tex]

By multiplying with x on both the sides of the given equation,

x² - 15 = 2x

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0

x = -3

And (x - 5) = 0

x = 5

Therefore, x = -3, 5 are the solutions of the given equation.

Option (E) will be the answer.
