a is equivalent to 18.

2(42 - a) = 48
2(42) + 2(-a) = 48     *distributive property of multiplication
84 - 2a = 48
-2a = 48 - 84
-2a = -36
-2a/-2 = -36/-2
a = 18

to check:
2(42-a)   = 48
2(42-18) = 48
2(24)      = 48
48          = 48

What is the factor of x³ 5x² 2x 24?
Delvig [45]

The factors of the expression x³-5x²-2x+24 are: (x+2)(x-3)(x-4)

<h3>What is a factor?</h3>

A factor is a number that completely divides another number.

In other words, since the result may be divided by the two whole numbers we are multiplying, they are factors of the result if multiplying two whole numbers produces a result.

The numbers that can divide a number exactly are called factors.

There is none left over after division as a result.

The numbers you multiply together to produce another number are called factors.

A factor is hence the division of another number.

So, we have the expression: x³-5x²-2x+24

Now, calculate the factors as follows:

x³-5x²-2x+24

We already know that: P(-2) = 0

Hence, x+2 is a factor.

Now, other factors are: x² - 7x + 12

x² + 4x + 3x + 12

(x - 3)(x - 4)

Therefore, the factors of the expression x³-5x²-2x+24 are: (x+2)(x-3)(x-4)
