Step-by-step explanation:

okay so 2a-15=-1

step 1: Find 2a

2a=-1+15=14.

2a=14

Step : Find a

a=14/2

a=7.

Hope that helps :)

You have to isolate the a. Add fifteen to both sides of the equation, so it’s

2a=15-1

Then subtract 15 and 1, so then the quantity is 14

2a=14

Then divide 2 by both sides, and the answer is

a=7

Solve the equation without the use of a calculator. please Help!!! Thank you!!! 12x^3-30x=5-2x^2

So, since we have a cubic equation with 4 terms, the first thing we should try is factoring by grouping, so:

$12x^3+2x^2-30x+5 =0 \implies \\ 2x^2(6x+1)-5(6x+1)=0 \implies \\ (2x^2-5)(6x+1) = 0$

Now that we've factored our equation, we can use ZPP and break it up:

$2x^2-5 = 0 \implies \\ 2x^2=5 \implies\\ x^2=\frac{5}{2} \implies\\ x=\pm\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} \\ \\ 6x+1 =0 \implies \\ 6x=-1 \implies\\ x=\frac{-1}{6}$

So, our solutions are:

$x\in \{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2},-\frac{1}{6}\}$
