Answer:

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Value of a is -3

Given the equation:   \frac{24x^2+25x-47}{ax-2} =-8x-3-\frac{53}{ax-2} is true for all x\neq 2a

To find the value of a.

Multiply both sides of the given equation by (ax-2), we have;

 24x^2+25x-47=(-8x-3)(ax-2)-53

Using FOIL Method to multiply two binomials i.e (-8x-3)(ax-2)

24x^2+25x-47=-8ax^2+16x-3ax+6-53

or

24x^2+25x-47=-8ax^2+x(16-3a)-47

Since the coefficients of the x^2 term have to be equal on both sides of the equation. we have;

-8a = 24

Divide both sides by -8 we get;

a = -3

Therefore, the value of a is, -3

Samantha, a 15-year-old girl, stole a pair of earrings from a jewelry store. This is the first time Samantha committed theft. Mr
sineoko [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The labeling theory refers to a self-fulfilling prophecy construct where if you define someone as something then they will become that thing. In this instance, defining Samantha as a thief would make her become a thief.

In answer A, Samantha would be labeled as a criminal in need of prison and, under the labeling theory, would be in the mindset of becoming a criminal.

In answer B, Samantha's parents would be labeling her as a thief and their lack of trust for her would lead to Samantha continuing to engage in thievery.

In answer C, Samantha's friends would be labeling her as a thief and, yet again, Samantha would feel as though she is one.

In answer E, Samantha's teachers keeping an eye on her infers that Samantha cannot be trusted and is not healthy for Samantha's evaluation of herself. Again, this would only lead to her stealing again under the labeling theory.

Answer D is the only answer which is constructive and rehabilitative, the goal of the labeling theory.
