The solution set for 6a^2-a-5=0

Mathematics

Answer:

a=1 or a=5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to attempt to factor 6a^2-a-5

a=6

b=-1

c=-5

Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add to be b.

a*c=-30                                   =-6(5)

b=-1                                          =-6+5

So replace -a with -6a+5a in the expression we started with

6a^2-6a+5a-5

now we factor by grouping

6a(a-1)+5(a-1)

(a-1)(6a-5)

Now let's solve the equation:

(a-1)(6a-5)=0

So a=1 or a=5/6

jekas [21]

Answer:

153,997 Labrador Retrievers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation for this problem. We know that there were 9,860 Great Danes. The number of Labrador Retrievers was 6,997 more than 15 times the number of registered Great Danes. More than can be changed to a plus sign. 15 times the number of Great Danes is 15 times 9,860. The equation is now 15*9,860 + 6,997.

15*9,860 is 147,900

147,900 + 6,997 is 153,997.
