Answer:

a=-1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-10=3x+a=12

let's first find x:

5x-10=12

add 10 to both sides:

5x=22

divide both sides by 5:

x=4.4

now that we know what x is, we can plug it back into the equation to find a:

3*4.4+a=12

first, simplify both sides:

13.2+a=12

then, subtract 13.2 from both sides:

and our answer is: a=-1.2

Factor the expression<br> 20g3 + 24g2 – 15g – 18

abruzzese [7]

First, put parenthesis around the first two numbers and the last two numbers.
(20g³+24g²) (-15g-18)
Then, take out the greatest common factor of both parenthesis.
4g²(5g+6)-3(5g+6)
You then separate the numbers outside the parenthesis and the numbers in the parenthesis.
(5g+6) (4g²-3)
Then you simplify the second set of numbers. Since the set of numbers can't be simplified, you would leave this problem as it is. I hope this makes sense.
