Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

Lucky guess?

Answer 2

-3

Solution,

`\frac{24 {x}^(2) + 25x - 47}{ax - 2} = - 8x - 3 - (53)/(ax - 2) \\ \frac{24 {x}^(2) + 25x - 47 }{ax - 2} = (( - 8x - 3)(ax - 2) - 53)/(ax - 2) \\ 24 {x}^(2) + 25x - 47 = - 8a {x}^(2) + (16 - 3a)x - 47 \\`

Equating coefficients from both side:

`- 8a = 24 \\ a = ( 24)/( - 8) \\ a = - 3`

Hope this helps..

good luck on your assignment..
