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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
4 0

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

Which of the following is equal to (2x/3 - 7) + 7
diamong [38]
<span>The correct answer is D. The number 7 is subtracted from the first term, 2x/3, but then an equal sum is added, and the two effectively cancel each other out. This means that the value of the first expression is essentially 2x/3, which is option D.</span>

Lesechka [4]
2t+5v=37 and 4t+3v=39 

Solve the first for t

t=18.5-2.5v and use this t in the second equation...

4(18.5-2.5v)+3v=39

74-10v+3v=39

-7v=-35

v=$5.00  and since t=18.5-2.5v

t=$6.00

So tuna sandwiches cost $6.00 and vegetarian sandwiches cost $5.00.
