Pls someone should kindly me with this

a = 1, a =

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have the same root, the discriminant cannot be irrational.

(a + 3)x² - (11a + 1)x + a = 2(a - 5)

(a + 3)x² - (11a + 1)x + a = 2a - 10

(a + 3)x² - (11a + 1)x + a - 2a + 10 = 0

(a + 3)x² - (11a + 1)x  - (a - 10) = 0

a = a+3    b = -(11a+1)  c = -(a - 10)

Case 1:

b² - 4ac = 0

[-(11a + 1)]² - 4(a + 3)[-(a - 10)] = 0

121a² + 22a + 1 + 4a² - 28a - 120 = 0

125a² - 6a - 119 = 0

Use any method to solve the quadratic equation. I chose to use the factoring method.  

125a² - 6a - 119 = 0

125a² - 125a + 119a - 119 = 0

125a(a - 1) + 119(a - 1) = 0

(125a + 119)(a - 1) = 0

125a + 119 = 0          and        a - 1 = 0

              a =    and             a = 1

Check:

(a + 3)x² - (11a + 1)x + a = 2(a - 5)

((1) + 3)x² - (11(1) + 1)x + (1) = 2((1) - 5)

  4x²      -       12x      + 1   = -8

4x² - 12x + 9 = 0

(2x + 3)² = 0

     x =

Case 2: I am not sure how to do this one

--------------------------------------------

a. 74 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

because the lines through the side and the box in the corners shows that these are congruent triangles and since they are mirrored the 37 degrees is also mirrored so the answer is 37 * 2 which is 74.
