First, factor the expression on the top. What two numbers add to get 8 and multiply to 15? 5 and 3! so the top expression factors to (x+3)(x+5). You can cancel the x+3 from the denominator and end up with x+5. Make sense?
Answer:
D) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-12 + 8 + 9 = 5

Answer:
If your trying to solve for a, I believe this is the answer: a = 4b / (2 - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
2a - b = ac + 3b
First you want to group by like terms, so for "b" you are going to add "b" to both sides so that it cancels out on the left side and you now have all of your "b's" on the right.
2a = ac + 4b
next, you want to get the a's on the left side so you are going to subtract "ac"
2a - ac = 4b
Now, you need to factor the "a" out, and since its the greatest common factor among the "2a - ac" you are left with "a(2 - c)"
a(2 - c) = 4b
Finally divide both sides by "(2 - c)"
a = 4b / (2 - c)
and that's your answer
