needing a calculator for that problem is just sad

10a^2-31a+24

Wrong method
Would work if there wasn't =0
5a-8=0
+/8 +8
5a=8
÷/5 ÷5
2a-3=0
+/3 +3
2a=3
÷/2 ÷2
a = 8/5 or 3/2x = 8/5 or 3/2

DIVIDE MENTIONED

a = 8/5 or 3/2

a = 1.5 or a = 8/5

Congratulations, you just made Imgflip do your math homework for you.
