Answer:

a = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, divide 5 from both sides:

(5(a + 3))/5 = = (-55)/5

a + 3 = -55/5

a + 3  = -11

Next, fully isolate a by subtracting 3 from both sides:

a + 3 (-3) = -11 (-3)

a = -11 - 3

a = -14

a = -14 is your answer.

Select all polynomials that have (x-3) as a factor.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 3 into each polynomial and see if the value of the polynomial is zero. If it is zero then x-3 is a factor.

Try number 1:

a(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - 4x + 3

a(3) = 3^3 - 2(3)^2 - 4(3) + 3

= 27 - 2(9) - 12 + 3

= 27 - 18 - 12 + 3

= 9 - 18 - 9

= 27 - 27

= 0

So a(x) has (x-3) is a factor of a(x)

The other 3 polynomials are solved in the same way.
