Since:
ax(2x + y - 5) = 6x^2 +3xy - 15x,

we should factor X out of the second equation to find out the value of a:
6x^2 + 3xy - 15x =
x(6x + 3y - 15),

Now that we factored X out, to find a, we need to find the other common factor:

(6x + 3y - 15) / (2x + y - 5),

which is 3.

Hence the value of a is 3

Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

If ax(2x + y - 5) simplifies to 6x² +3xy - 15x

ax(2x + y - 5)=2ax^2+axy-5ax

Comparing Coefficients of 2ax^2+axy-5ax with 6x^2 +3xy - 15x

For x^2; 2a=6===>a=3

     xy: a=3

     x: -5a=-15==>a=3

Clearly, a=3

Judy uses 9.7 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls.3/5
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

3.88 Pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the amount of blue paint that was used. We can do that by multiplying 9.7 by 0.60 since that is 3/5 in decimal form

9.7*0.60=5.82

Now we know how much blue paint was used, now we just need to find how much white paint was used. We can do that by subtracting our amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint used

9.7-5.82=3.88

thus, 3.88 is the amount of white paint used
