a2 + 2a - 3 = 0(a + 3)(a - 1)a = - 3a = 1Simple factoring where you ask yourself; what two factors of - 3 add up to 2?
(1) Add the two equations together & solve for A:A - B = 381A + B = 561-------------------2A + 0B = 9422A = 9422A/2 = 942/2A = 471(2) Now substitute A back into one of the original equations & solve for B:A + B = 561471 + B = 561B = 561 - 471B = 90
a+a=1 2a=1 a=1/2
If: 2a+13 = 5a+1 Then: a = 4
6a+1=2a+25 Subtract 2a from both sides 4a+1=25 Subtract 1 from both sides 4a=24 Divide both sides by 4 a=6 That is your final answer.
(2a + 1)(4a2 - 2a + 1)

a = 1
2a + 1 = 3subtract 1 from both sides2a = 2divide both sides by 2a = 1
If ba = 2a + b , then find 23 + 32 +1
a = 4
2a - 7 = -9 2a - 7 + 7 = -9 + 7 2a = -9 +7 2a = -2 2a/2 = -2/2 a = -2/2 a= -1
