Question

If the point (a,3) lies on the graph of the equation 5x + y = 8, then a=a.01b.0-1c.0-7​

Answer 1

Answer:

A (a = 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A coordinate point is always in the form (x,y) that means the first point is always x-coordinate and the second point is always y-coordinate.

The equation given is:

5x + y = 8

The point is (a,3), so that means x = a and y = 3

We substitute the values into the equation and find a. Shown below:

5x + y = 8

5(a) + (3) = 8

5a + 3 = 8

5a = 8 - 3

5a = 5

a = 5/5

a = 1

Answer choice A is right
