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.

lara [203]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Simply substitute the value of the intensity to the variable i. Taking its logarithm to the base 10, the answer would be 7.8. Hence, 6 million ergs is equivalent to 7.8 based on the Richter scale.

4)
area of figure = bh = 8x10 = 80
same as a trapezoid have base 6 and 14 and height 8
because A of trapezoid = 1/2(6+14)*8 = 80
so answer is C
a trapezoid with bases of 6 mm and 14 mm and a height of 8 mm

5)
area of original figure A = bh = 8 x 10 = 80
if double h = 16 and b = 20 then A = 16 x 20 = 320
the area is quadrupled.

answer is C.
The area is quadrupled
