Practice, practice & practice.
Answer:
B. ( –3, –4)
C. ( 4, 17 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Function: y = 3x + 5
Using method of elimination
A. (2, –1)
x = 2, y = -1
-1 = 3 (2) + 5
-1 ≠ 11
This option is incorrect!
B. ( –3, –4)
x = -3, y = -4
-4 = 3 (-3) + 5
-4 = - 9 + 5
-4 = -4
This option is correct!
C. ( 4, 17 )
x = 4, y = 17
17 = 3 (4) + 5
17 = 12 + 5
17 = 17
This option is correct!
D. ( 3, 8 )
x = 3, y = 8
8 = 3 (3) + 5
8 = 9 + 5
8 = 14
This option is incorrect!

2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
