To solve the problem, substitute the given points for x in the given equation to get

Solving the three equations simultaneously, we have:
a = -3, b = 2 and c = -5
Therefore, the required equation is
Answer:
32.2 is your answer for c
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the equation:
c - 23.7 = 8.5
Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the c. add 23.7 to both sides
c - 23.7 (+23.7) = 8.5 (+23.7)
c = 8.5 + 23.7
Simplify.
c = 32.2
32.2 is your answer for c

If you substitute the -8 in for y you will get -72
You can then add the 72 to the other side and get -8x=64
Dividing by -8 to both sides to get x alone will give you x
X=-8
Maria. You can check by dividing 8 into 3 and 3 into 8.
