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

The inequality for this situation is given by 50 + p > 85

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let p represent number of pages from Monday to Friday.

Jerome wants to have read at least 85 pages by the end of the day on Friday, hence:

50 + p > 85

The inequality for this situation is given by 50 + p > 85

Select all number combinations that COULD make a triangle
tester [92]

Answer:

2 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if a combination is a triangle all you have to do is see if the combinations add up to 180

(2)(9)(10)=180 therefore it is a triangle.

All the other angles do not add up to 180 so they can't be triangles!!

(4)(10)(3) =120

(5)(6)(11) =330

(4)(5)(7) =140
