what is the value of A such that X^2-11*X+A and X^2-14*X+2A will have a common factor?

• x2-11x+A-x2-14x+2A=3x-A=0;So A=3x.
  Then Substitute A value in Equation 1--> i.e x2-11x+3x
  So from here Solve for x value so we get x=8,(x2-8x=x(x-8)=0).
  then By observing the both equations since substitute the A value in both eqs we get common factor as 8.
