Given:

(ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14

And

a+b=8

Required:

To find the two possible values of c.

Explanation:

Consider

\begin{gathered} (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14 \\ abx^2+7ax+2bx+14=15x^2+cx+14 \end{gathered}

So

\begin{gathered} ab=15-----(1) \\ 7a+2b=c \end{gathered}

And also given

a+b=8---(2)

Now from (1) and (2), we get

\begin{gathered} a+\frac{15}{a}=8 \\  \\ a^2+15=8a \\  \\ a^2-8a+15=0 \end{gathered}a=3,5

Now put a in (1) we get

\begin{gathered} (3)b=15 \\ b=\frac{15}{3} \\ b=5 \\ OR \\ b=\frac{15}{5} \\ b=3 \end{gathered}

We can interpret that either of a or b are equal to 3 or 5.

When a=3 and b=5, we have

\begin{gathered} c=7(3)+2(5) \\ =21+10 \\ =31 \end{gathered}

When a=5 and b=3, we have

\begin{gathered} c=7(5)+2(3) \\ =35+6 \\ =41 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The option D is correct.

31 and 41

Please help it will be brainlist please make sure you are 100% the awnser is right
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Sum of angles on a straight line is 180

Step 2:

2x + 25 + y = 180

2x + y = 180 - 25

2x + y = 155  (1)

Step 3:

3x - 10 + y = 180

3x + y = 180 + 10

3x + y = 190    (2)

Step 4: Substract equation 1 from 2

3x + y - 2x - y = 190 - 155

      x = 35

Step 5:

Substitute x in equation 1 to find y

2x + y = 55

2(35) + y = 155

70  +  y = 155

  y = 155 - 70

   y = 85
