Question

24x^2+25x-47=(-8x-3)(ax-2)-53 I need to find what a likely equals... I don't know how to do this, with the a being combined with the x, I have to remove none or both. (At least I think.)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

ax−2

24x

2

+25x−47

=−8x−3−

ax−2

53

⇒

ax−2

24x

2

+25x−47

=

ax−2

(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

⇒24x

2

+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

⇒24x

2

+25x−47=−8ax

2

+16x−3ax+6−53

⇒24x

2

+25x−47=−8ax

2

+16x−3ax−47

⇒24x

2

+25x=−8ax

2

+(16−3a)x

⇒24=−8a

⇒a=−3
