Factor: Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
The first term is 15a^2, its' coefficient is 15
The middle term is - 58a, its' coefficient is - 58a
The last term is "The Constant" is +48
Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 15(48) = 720
Find two factors of 720, whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -58

Factoring: 15a^2 - 58a + 48 = 0
Factor left side of equation:
(5a - 6)(3a - 8)
Set fractions equal to Zero
5a - 6 = 0 or 3a - 8 = 0
Answer : a = 6/5 = 1.200
or a = 8/3 = 2.667
Hope that helps!!!!
Answer:
g = 7 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
- Add 5 to both sides so it cancels out. 3g = 22
- Divide both sides by 3. g = 7.333...
7.333... and 7 1/3 are equivalent, so just put either one.
The answer is x= +- 2 square root of 2 + 3
D^2 + 17d + 72 = 0
( d + 8 ) ( d + 9 ) = 0
d = - 8 , d = - 9
2 1/8=2.125
2.125?34=1/16
