Answer:

a=3, b=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=ax+b

f(5)=5a+b=3 [eq.1]

f(3)=3a+b=-3 [eq.2]

[eq.2] - [eq.1]

3a+b-5a-b= -3 -3

3a-5a=-6

-2a=-6

2a=6

a=3

substituting a=3 in eq.[1]

5a+b=3

5x(3)+b=3

15+b=3

b=3-15

ans: b=-12

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert feet to inches

we know that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

To convert feet to inches, multiply by 12

$2\ ft=2(12)=24\ in$

step 2

Convert inches to centimeters

we know that

$1\ in=2.54\ cm$

To convert inches to centimeters multiply by 2.54

$24\ in=24(2.54)=60.96\ cm$

therefore

Chester should have multiplied the measurement in inches by 2.54 instead of dividing by 2.54

8.0% is the answer. To solve these problems just do actual length minus her guess which gives you 0.5. Then divide what you got by the actual length. 0.5 divided by 6.25 is 0.08. Multiply that by 100. 0.08 x 100 is 8 which means the answer is 8.0% :)
