It is given that 24x2−22x2+x+16+22x+30=0, which can be written as:
=> (22x2)2−22x2⋅2x+15⋅21+(2x+15)2=0
=> (22x2−2x+15)2=0
=> 22x2−2x+15=0 (Since (a−b)2=0⇒a−b=0)
=> 2x2=x+15
=> 2x2−x−15=0
=> 2x2−6x+5x−15=0
=> 2x(x−3)+5(x−3)=0
=> (2x+5)(x−3)=0
Hence, the possible values of x are −25, and 3, respectively.
Therefore, the sum of the possible values is (3−25)=21
The correct option is C
