Answer

The given equation is 10ax2 - 6x + 15ax - 9 = 0

Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a= 10a, b = (15a - 6), c = -9

By using the formula , x = b±b24ac2a\dfrac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} , we obtain

(15a6)±(15a6)24×10a×92×10a(615a)±225a2+36180a+360a20a615a±225a2+36+180a20a615a±(15a+6)220a615a+15a+620a or 615a15a+620a1220a or 30a20a35a or 32\Rightarrow \dfrac{-(15a - 6) ± \sqrt{(15a - 6)^2 - 4 \times 10a \times -9}}{2 \times 10a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(6 - 15a) ± \sqrt{225a^2 + 36 - 180a + 360a}}{20a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{6 - 15a ± \sqrt{225a^2 + 36 + 180a}}{20a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{6 - 15a ± \sqrt{(15a + 6)^2}}{20a}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{6 - 15a + |15a + 6|}{20a} \text{ or } \dfrac{6 - 15a - |15a + 6|}{20a} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{12}{20a} \text{ or } -\dfrac{30a}{20a} \\[1em] \dfrac{3}{5a} \text{ or } -\dfrac{3}{2}

Hence, roots of the given equation are 35a,32\dfrac{3}{5a}, -\dfrac{3}{2}.
