3a2 + -2a + -1 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-1 + -3a)(1 + -1a) = 0
Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-1 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-1 + -3a = 0
Solving
-1 + -3a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + 1
-3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-3a = 1
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = -0.3333333333
Simplifying
a = -0.3333333333
Subproblem 2Set the factor '(1 + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + -1a = 0
Solving
1 + -1a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1a = 0 + -1
-1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1a = -1
Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1Solutiona = {-0.3333333333, 1}</span>
Answer:
a. 7.2
b. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the side lengths of similar polygons are proportional to each other, therefore:

Thus, let's find b using:

Cross multiply


Divide both sides by 15
b = 6
Let's find a using:

Cross multiply
9*12 = 15*a
108 = 15a
Divide both sides by 15
a = 7.2
(x,y)
(3.5,10.5) this is where they meet
