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

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

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
