First, rearrange the equation so you have just ax² on one side. This can be done by adding -3x and -5 on both sides of the equation:
ax²=3x+5
Now, substitute x for 1 and simplify:
a(1²)=(3×1)+5
1a=3+5
a=8
You can double check this by substituting a for 8 back into the original equation:
(8×1²)-(3×1)-5=0
8-3-5=0

Explain why please and make sure it is in full detail
Marysya12 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

well,

(y - 7)² = (y - 7)(y - 7)

remember how to multiply 2 expressions ?

you have to multiply every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and sum the results all up (incl. considering their individual signs, of course).

so, when we do the multiplication, we get

(y - 7)(y - 7) = y×y - 7×y - 7×y + (-7)×(-7) =

= y² - 14y + 49

and that is clearly different to y² - 49

FYI

y² - 49 is the result of

(y - 7)(y + 7)

because

y×y + 7×y - 7×y + (-7)(7) = y² - 49

It's basically 5,000*2=10,000
 and 10,000/2=5,000. your answer would be either they multiplied 5,000 by 2 and 10,000 divided by 2, they increased the sales by 5,000
