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.

A traveler is walking on a moving walkway in an airport The Traveler must walk back on the walkway to get a bag he forgot the Tr
hichkok12 [17]
Let the speed off the walk way be x and speed of the walkway be y
x+y=6....i
x-y=2....ii
adding the above equation we get:
2x=8
thus
x=4 ft/s
and
y=6-4=2 ft/s
thus the speed off the walk way is 4 ft/s
the speed of the moving walkway is 2 ft/s

Emily took 300 US dollars to the bank to exchange it for Canadian dollars. The exchange rate on that day was 1.25 Canadian dolla
Paha777 [63]

Emily wanted to exchange her 300 US Dollars for Canadian Dollars.

The exchange rate for it was 1.25 Canadian Dollars for 1 US Dollar.

This means that 1 US Dollar = 1.25 Canadian Dollars.

So if we were to follow this pattern,

2 US Dollars = 2 × 1.25 = 2.5 Canadian Dollars

3 US Dollars = 3 × 1.25 = 3.75 Canadian Dollars

4 US Dollars = 4 × 1.25 = 5 Canadian Dollars

So for 300 US Dollars, we'll need to multiply 300 by 1.25.

300 US Dollars = 300 × 1.25 = 375 Canadian Dollars.

Hope it helps. :)
