Y-intercept(b)= 10
equation wasnt written in the correct order so b is 10
it’s system of substitutions ?
so try
a = 2
b = 5
Answer:
The value of A is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
- The number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a number
divisible by 3
- Ex: 126 is divisible by 3 because the sum of its digits = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
and 6 is divisible by 3
- The number is divisible by 5 if its ones digit is zero or 5
- Ex: 675 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 5
890 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 0
- We are looking for the value of A in the 4-digit number 3A5A which
makes the number divisible by both 3 and 5
∵ A is in the ones position
∴ A must be zero or 5
- Let us try A = 0
∵ A = 0
∴ The number is 3050
∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 8
∵ 8 is not divisible by 3
∴ 3050 is not divisible by both 3 and 5
∴ A can not be zero
- Let us try A = 5
∵ A = 5
∴ The number is 3555
∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 18
∵ 18 is divisible by 3
∴ 3555 is divisible by both 3 and 5
∴ A must be equal 5
* <em>The value of A is 5</em>
