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

500 in the ratio 2:3
irina1246 [14]
500 in 2:3 is saying that there are five different parts (2 + 3)
This means that 500 needs to be split into five, which is 100.
After that all you need to do is put 2 'sections' on one side and 3 on the other.

For example, 2 : 3 = 2( x 100) : 3( x 100)
                                = 200 : 300
