Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Answer:3.1875
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0
-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0
-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0
Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5
5 + -56 + 16a = 0
Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '51' to each side of the equation.
-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0
0 + 16a = 0 + 51
16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51
16a = 51
Divide each side by '16'.
a = 3.1875
Simplifying
a = 3.1875
