Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yard. the floor is 11 yards wide . how long is the floor?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Area = Length x Width (A = L x W)

A = 264, W = 11, L = ?

Rewrite the equation to find L. In order to reverse multiplication, you must divide.

L = A / W

L = 264 / 11 = 24 yards
