If a fraction, is a solution then (d*x+n) is a factor. So if and are solutions, then (3x+(-10)) and (5x+(-9)) (or (3x-10) and (5x-9)) are factors. So the quadratic equations that will have the given solutions will have the form:
a(3x-10)(5x-9) = 0 (where "a" is any non-zero number)
Use FOIL to multiply (3x-10)(5x-9). You will get one of the 5 possible answers given. (This means the "a" must be 1. If you had not gotten one of the 5 answers, you would multiply what you did get by different a's (2, -3, 1/5, etc.) until you got a match.)
