Factor 3x^2 - 14x + 8

(3x-2)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

After factoring(I use the slide-divide method), you are left with 3(x-2)(x+12)

then, (3x-2)(x-4)

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
