<em>Answer:</em>
a = 7 & a = −7
<em>Explanation:</em>
Rewrite the equation as
(x+a)(x−a)=x^2−49
Simplify (x+a)(x−a)
x^2−a^2=x^2−49
Move all terms not containing a to the right side of the equation.
−a^2=−49
Multiply each term in −a^2=−49 by −1
a^2=49
Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.
a=±√49
The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.
a=7,−7
153:53 is a ratio! Another form of this ratio could be "153 to 53" or "153/53".
Multiply the number by itself zero times , it's the only number which can be multiplied by any other number without changing that other number.
