Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² + 54x + 120 = 0

divide by 6

x² + 9x + 20 = 0

(x² + 5x) + (4x + 20) = 0

x(x + 5) + 4(x + 5) = 0

(x + 4) (x + 5) = 0

x + 4 = 0, x + 5 = 0

x = -4, x = -5

The 10th term of an a.p is -27 and the 5th term is -12 .find the first term?

horsena [70]

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{10} = - 27... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 9d = - 27...... (1)\\\\a_{5} = - 12... (Given) \\\\\therefore a + 4d = - 12.......(2)\\\\$

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)

$a + 9d-( a + 4d )= - 27-(-12)\\\\\therefore a +9d - a-4d = - 27+12\\\\\therefore 5d = - 15\\\\\therefore d = \frac {- 15}{5}\\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore d = -3}} \\\\$
