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

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

640 students own a bicycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate shows that 4 out of 5 students own a bicycle. 4 out of 5 is 80% of the students. Now, we need to find 80% of 800 students.

To do this, we multiply the number of students by .80, which represents 80%.

800 x 0.8 = 640

I Hope That This Helps! :)

A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 2 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost
oksian1 [2.3K]
It will be $2.50 for each pound of walnuts, and it will be $1 for each pound of chocolate chips.

I know this hold true because when we multiply $2.50 by 2, we get $5, and add that to the other $5 from the chocolate chips and we will get $10. We can also multiply $2.50 by 8 and add $3 from chocolate chips to get $20 + $3, or $23.
