ANSWER EXPLANATION: There are two ways to solve this question. The faster way is to multiply each side of the given equation by ax−2 (so you can get rid of the fraction). When you multiply each side by ax−2, you should have:

24x2+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

You should then multiply (−8x−3) and (ax−2) using FOIL.

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x+6−53

Then, reduce on the right side of the equation

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x−47

Since the coefficients of the x2-term have to be equal on both sides of the equation, −8a=24, or a=−3.

The other option which is longer and more tedious is to attempt to plug in all of the answer choices for a and see which answer choice makes both sides of the equation equal.

The answer is B

Can anyone help me with this problem???
jasenka [17]

Note that x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Applying the Pyth. Thm.,


x^2 = 2^2 + 6^2, or x^2 = 4 + 36 = 40.


Thus, the hypotenuse is +sqrt(40), or 2sqrt(10).
