Answer:

a = 13, b = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides

(3x + 1)(x - 2) ← expand using FOIL

= 3x² - 5x - 2

left side = 3x² - 5x - 2 + ax + b ← combine like terms

             = 3x² + x(a - 5) + b - 2

right side = 3x² + 8x - 5

For the 2 sides to be equal then

a - 5 = 8 ( add 5 to both sides )

a = 13

and

b - 2 = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

b = - 3

Will get Brainliest plz help
ladessa [460]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is y=mx+b for regular equation stander form. C would automatically be eliminated that leaves you with A and B... a you don't have a y intercept so you would start at zero.

You have to pay an entrance fee plus any other souvenirs you would want. so the entrance fee would be the y intercept in "B"
