this is equation split middle term . no spam plzzz i want full solutioun no guess plz

The first term is, a2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -23a its coefficient is -23 .
The last term, "the constant", is +120
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 120 = 120
Step-2 : Find two factors of 120 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -23 .
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and -8
a2 - 15a - 8a - 120
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
a • (a-15)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
8 • (a-15)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(a-8) • (a-15)
Which is the desired factorization
2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
2.2 Solve : a-8 = 0
Add 8 to both sides of the equation :
a = 8
2.3 Solve : a-15 = 0
Add 15 to both sides of the equation :
a = 15
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
