Question

X-2 is a factor of x² - 7x + 2a the value of a is

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2 is the factor

Thus x= 2

Put the value of x in the equation.

(2)^2 - 7(2) + 2a = 0

4 - 14 + 2a = 0

-10 + 2a = 0

a = 10/2

=5.

Answer 2

Answer:5 Plz mark me as a brainllist

Step-by-step explanation :x^2-7x+2a

x-2=0

x=2

p (x)=x^2-7x+2a

p (2)=(2)^2-7 (2)+2 a

=4-14+2a

=-10+2a

-2a=-10

a=-10/-2=5
