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
