Answer:
a = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x = - 2 is a root then f(- 2) = 0
f(x) = x³ + x² + ax - 4, thus
f(- 2) = (- 2)³ + (- 2)² - 2a - 4 = 0, that is
f(- 2) = - 8 + 4 - 2a - 4 = 0, thus
- 8 - 2a = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 2a = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
a = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number:
x + y = 2x +13
x - y = y - 14
solve the system of equations:
x - (x + 13) = (x +13) - 14
x = -12
y = 1
Multiply 3 by the denominator, then add the numerator. Then we keep the original denominator.
So we get:
3 x 5 = 15 + 3 = 18
we get:
18/5
