Answer:

a = 3, b = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 2 into the equation and equate to 5, that is

a(2)² + b = 5

4a + b = 5 → (1)

Substitute x = 3 into the equation and equate to 20

a(3)² + b = 20

9a + b = 20 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b

(9a - 4a) + (b - b) = (20 - 5), that is

5a = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

a = 3

Substitute a = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for b

Substituting in (1)

4(3) + b = 5

12 + b = 5 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

b = - 7

Debbie cut a cord into sixths . She used five of the to make necklaces . She used equal lengths of the remaining cord for each o

Brut [27]

So she used $\frac{5}{6}$ of the cord to make necklaces.
$1- \frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

She splits the $\frac{1}{6}$ length into 4 equal lengths.
To divide a fraction by a fraction, you multiply it by its reciprocal.
$\frac{1}{6} ( \frac{1}{4})$
$=\frac{1}{24}$

She used $\frac{1}{24}$ of the original chord to make each bracelet.
