The solution set for <br> 6a^2-a-5=0

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a=1 or a=5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to attempt to factor 6a^2-a-5

a=6

b=-1

c=-5

Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add to be b.

a*c=-30 =-6(5)

b=-1 =-6+5

So replace -a with -6a+5a in the expression we started with

6a^2-6a+5a-5

now we factor by grouping

6a(a-1)+5(a-1)

(a-1)(6a-5)

Now let's solve the equation:

(a-1)(6a-5)=0

So a=1 or a=5/6

Serhud [2]

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you place the numbers in place of the variables in their relative positions using the pythagorean theorem:

$15^{2} +x^{2}=24^{2}$

Then you square the numbers that you currently have:

$225+x^{2}=576$

Then subtract 225 from both sides to isolate the x:

$x^{2} =576-225$

This gives you the equation:

$x^{2} =351$

Then take the square root of both sides which gives you:

$x=18.7349939952$

Then round to the nearest whole number which gives you x=19
