If the point (a,1) lies on the line y = 3x - 5, what is the value of a?

Mathematics

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that a point uses (x , y).

y = 1

x = a

Plug in 1 for y in the equation, and a for x:

y = 3x - 5

1 = 3a - 5

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 5 to both sides:

1 (+5) = 3a - 5 (+5)

1 + 5 = 3a

6 = 3a

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(6)/3 = (3a)/3

a = 6/3

a = 2

2 is your value for a.

Here are descriptions for how two dot patterns are growing,
Arisa [49]

The steps in the patterns A and B form a sequence

The attached diagram represents dots in patterns A and B

<h3>How to draw the diagrams</h3>

For pattern A, we have:

Step 2 = 10 dots

Increment of 3 dots in each step

This means that:

Step 0 = 4 dots

Step 1 = 7 dots

Step 2 = 10 dots

Step 3 = 13 dots

For pattern A, we have the following rule

T_n =2n^2 + 1

When n = 0 to 3, we have:

T_0 =2(0)^2 + 1 =1

Step 0 = 1 dot

T_1 =2(1)^2 + 1 =3

Step 1 = 3 dots

T_2 =2(2)^2 + 1 =9

Step 2 =  9 dots

T_3 =2(3)^2 + 1 =19

Step 3 =  19 dots

Next, we draw the diagrams of both patterns (see attachment)

alex buys a home for $276,400. his home is predicted to increase in value 3.5% each year. What is the predicted value of alex's
Katarina [22]
276400(0.035) = $9674 the equivalent value in dollar for every increase in the house then multiplied by 25. $9674*(25) = $241850 + the current value of Alex's home. $276400+ $241850 = $518250 that would be the value of Alex's home in 25  years. The percentage is (518250-276400)/ 276400 =0.875 *100 = 87.5 % increase in value. I hope this would help.
