1. **State the problem:** Factor the quadratic equation $$2x^2 = 3x + 35$$ into its factored form.
2. **Rewrite the equation:** Move all terms to one side to set the equation to zero:
$$2x^2 - 3x - 35 = 0$$
3. **Use factoring method:** We look for two numbers that multiply to $$2 \times (-35) = -70$$ and add to $$-3$$.
4. The numbers are $$7$$ and $$-10$$ because $$7 \times (-10) = -70$$ and $$7 + (-10) = -3$$.
5. **Rewrite the middle term:**
$$2x^2 + 7x - 10x - 35 = 0$$
6. **Group terms:**
$$(2x^2 + 7x) - (10x + 35) = 0$$
7. **Factor each group:**
$$x(2x + 7) - 5(2x + 7) = 0$$
8. **Factor out the common binomial:**
$$(x - 5)(2x + 7) = 0$$
9. **Final factored form:**
$$(x - 5)(2x + 7)$$
**Answer:** The factored form is $(x - 5)(2x + 7)$.
Note: The options given include duplicates and the correct two factors are $(x - 5)$ and $(2x + 7)$.
