A:
C.) 2 is the right answerStep-by-step explanation:Given-15(x-__)=25We can see in the next step [tex]-15x+30=25[/tex]We can check by substituting each option one by oneSo,A.) -30[tex]-15(x-(-30))=25\\-15(x+30)=25\\-15x-150=25[/tex]We can see that by putting -30 we don't get the expression given in the picture so it is not the right answer.B.) -2[tex]-15(x-(-2))=25\\-15(x+2)=25\\-15x-30=25[/tex]We can see that by putting -2 we don't get the expression given in the picture so it is not the right answer.C.) 2[tex]-15(x-2)=25\\-15x+30=25[/tex]We get the same expression by putting 2 in the blank so it is the right answer.Hence,C.) 2 is the right answerKeywords: Expressions, VariablesLearn more about expressions at:brainly.com/question/10699220brainly.com/question/10703930#learnwithBrainly
