    If \[(3x-4)\,(5x+7)=15{{x}^{2}}-ax-28,\] what is the value of a?

    A)  \[1\]                                    

    B)  \[-1\]                   

    C)         \[-2\]  

    D)         \[2\]    

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[(3x-4)\,(5x+7)=15{{x}^{2}}-ax-28\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[15{{x}^{2}}+x-28=15{{x}^{2}}-ax-28\] Comparing the coefficients of like terms, we get \[a=-1\].
