a2-5a-14 = (a-7)(a+2) when factored
a2 + -5a2 - a2 - a = a2 - 5a2 - a2 - a = a2 - 6a2 - a = -5a2 - a
5a^2 - 5a - 60 ---- 5(a2 + a - 12)
5a+3a2a2= 8a a2
(a2 + 5a + 6)/(a - 2) = (a + 2)*(a 3)/(a - 2) which cannot be simplified further. It can, however be written as (a2 - 2a + 7a - 14 + 20)/(a - 2) which is (a + 7) + 20/(a - 2)
5a3-45a=-2a2+18 5a(a2-9)=-2(a2-9) 5a=-2 a=-2/5
5a times 3a minus 8a = (5*3)*a2 - 8a = 15a2 - 8a
(a2 + 2a + 1)/(5a + 5)factor, top and bottom(a + 1)(a + 1)/5(a + 1)cancel an (a + 1) top and bottom= (a + 1)/5=========
If you mean: 6a+7 = 5a then the value of a is -7
2b(5a - 7)(5a + 7)
(5a).7 = -23 7(5a) = -23 35a = -23 a = -23/35 a= -0.657 (3 d.p.)
5a2*1/6 = (5/6)a2
