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

Answer:

The answer is (x,y)=(-10,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The solution comes from replace x= -10 into the equation of y=2/5 x -3.
  • Replacement of x= -10 into y = 2/5 x -3 results: y=\frac{2}{5}\times{(-10)}-3=2\times{(-2)} -3=-4-3=-7.
