24x^2 +25x - 47 53
----------------------- = -8x -3 - ---------------
ax-2 ax-2
add 53/ax-2 to each side
24x^2 +25x - 47+53
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6
----------------------- = -8x -3
ax-2
multiply each side by ax-2
24x^2 +25x +6 = (ax-2) (-8x-3)
multiply out the right hand side
24x^2 +25x +6 = -8ax^2 +16x-3ax +6
24 = -8a 25 = 16 -3a
a = -3 9 = -3a
a = -3
Choice B
1. C
2. A
3. D
4. 62/25
5. 4/33
By the way it is not fair. posting 5 sums for just 7 points. :)
anyway, if it helped u
do click thx.
The answer would be 15,120
Answer: B
Because...
3x + 2x < -2x + 2x + 7
5x < 7
So you have to do addition BEFORE division.
