Answer:

(2a+3 ) (a-4 )=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2a^2 + 8a - 15 = 3a - 3

Subtract 3a from each side

2a^2 + 8a-3a - 15 = 3a-3a - 3

2a^2 + 5a - 15 = - 3

Add 3 to each side

2a^2 + 5a - 15+3 = 3 - 3

2a^2 -5a -12=0

(2a+3 ) (a-4 )=0 These are the factors

Serga [27]

I would change the 1 2/5 miles to a whole fraction which would be 7/5 miles then invert the 5/8 th to 8/5 then multiply the fractions. I.E. 7/5 x 8/5 which will give 56/25. Divide 25 into 56 and you get 2 6/25 miles or convert to a decimal and would be 2.24 miles.

well, the volume of that triangular prism will just be the area of the triangle times the length.

now, what's the area of that triangular face? well, let's say it has a base of "b" and a height of 3, whilst the prism has a length of 6, Check the picture below.

$\stackrel{\textit{triangle's area}}{\cfrac{1}{2}(b)(3)}\stackrel{\textit{prism's length}}{(6)}~~ = ~~4\frac{1}{2}\implies 9b=\cfrac{9}{2}\implies b=\cfrac{9}{18}\implies b=\cfrac{1}{2}$
