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

Write the equation of the line from the given information. through (-3,5) & (4,-2)
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3,5) and (4,-2)

Slope: (-2-5)/(4 - - 3) = -7/7 = -1

y-intercept= -2 - (-1)(4) = -2 + 4 = 2

The table shows the number of miles each person ran this week who ran more miles by te end of the week How many More?
Tasya [4]
To calculate who ran more, you add up the total miles
Pat = 2.75+3+2.5 = 8.25
Toby = 2+2.25+3.5 = 7.75
Now subtract to see who ran more
Pat ran 0.5 miles more than Toby.

Use the given vertices to graph quadrilateral TUVW and its image after a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:We know that the dilation transformation of a figure either shrink or expand the original figure depending on the scale factor of the dilation.

As here we have scale factor=3>1.

Hence, the dilation  changes the original will expand the original figure.

Hence, each of the coordinate of a figure get multiplied by 3.

Hence, the co

ordinates of the image are given as:

i.e. A(0,0) → A'(0,0)

B(2,3) → B'(6,9)

C(1,-2) → C'(3,-6)

D(-3,-3) → D'(-9,-9)
