You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so first you solve the linear equation to get a=39x-70-5x^2/9x-14-x^2
then you would express as a polynomial in x to get a=-5x^2+39x-70/-x^2+9x-14
Then ypu would use polynomial division to simplyfy to get the answer which is
drum role please
a=5-6x/-x^2+9x-14
