Greetings!

2a^3-3a^2=8a-12
Add -(8a-12) to both sides.
(2a^3-3a^2)+-(8a-12)=8a-12-(8a-12)
Simplify.
2a^3-3a^2-8a+12=0
Rearrange.
2a^3-8a-3a^2+12=0
Factor Out 2a.
2a(a^2-4)-3a^2+12=0
Factor Out the difference of squares.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3a^2+12=0
Factor out -3.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3(a^2-4)=0
Factor Out the difference of squares.
2a(a-2)(a+2)-3(a-2)(a+2)=0
Find Common Factor.
(a+2)(a-2)(2a-3)=0
Set Factors to Equal 0.
(a+2)=0 \\  \\ (a-2)=0 \\  \\ (2a-3)=0
a=-2 \\ \\ a=2 \\ \\ a=3/2

Hope this helps.

Two tanks hold a total of 55 gallons of a toxic solvent. One tank holds 4 gallons more than twice the amount in the other. How m
Serhud [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the volume of the first tank, and y is the volume of the second tank, then:

x + y = 55

x = 2y + 4

Solve the system of equations using either substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

2y + 4 + y = 55

3y + 4 = 55

3y = 51

y = 17

Solve for x using either equation.

x + 17 = 55

x = 38

The first tank holds 38 gallons, and the second tank holds 17 gallons.
