Answer:

D. a = -1/5, a = 7/6

Explanation:

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign


30a^(2) -7-29a=0

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms


30a^(2) -29a-7=0

Write -29a as a difference


30a^(2) +6a-35a-7=0

Factor out "6a" and "-7" from the expression


6x(a)x(5a+1)-35a-7=0


6x(a)x(5a+1)-7(5a+1)=0

Factor out "5a + 1" from the expression


(5a+1)x(6a-7)=0

When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0


5a+1=0\\6a-7=0

Solve the equation for a


a = -(1)/(5)


a = (7)/(6)

The equation has 2 solutions


a= -(1)/(5) , a=(7)/(6)

Answer:

a = 7/6 a = -1/5

Explanation:

30 a^2 - 7 = 29a

Subtract 29a from each side

30 a^2 -29a- 7 = 29a-29a

30 a^2 -29a- 7 = 0

Factor

( -7 ) ( +1) =0 to get -7

We need to determine what goes in the first part

5*7 = 35 - 6 = 29

( 6a -7 ) ( 5a +1) =0

Using the zero product property

6a -7 =0 5a+1 =0

6a = 7 5a = -1

a = 7/6 a = -1/5
