Question

If 3a^2 - 8a - 3 = 0, find a.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3a^ 2 - 8a - 3= 0

3a^ 2 -9a + a - 3 = 0

3a( a - 3 ) + 1 ( a - 3 ) = 0

(3a + 1)( a- 3) = 0

3a+ 1 = 0 , a- 3 = 0

3a = -1 , a= 3

a = - 1/3 , 3

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two values of a

first = 3

second = -1/3......
