What is part A? I feel their is something you are missing in your answer
Steps to solve:
15 + 2a = 35
~Subtract 15 to both sides
2a = 20
~Divide 2 to both sides
a = 10
Best of Luck!
5<em>x</em>² - 7<em>x</em> + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em>) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em> + 49/100 - 49/100) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 2 • 7/10 <em>x</em> + (7/10)²) - 49/20 + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² - 9/20 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/20
(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/100
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± √(9/100)
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 7/10 ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 10/10 = 1 or <em>x</em> = 4/10 = 2/5
