Domain of

are the values of x for which 2x + 1 < 0
2x < -1
x < -1/2
Therefore, domain is all real numbers less than -1/2
Y = -6.
-2(7)-2y=-2
-14-2y=-2
you need to move -14 to the other side by canceling out -14 with +14, and add +14 to -2, giving you -2y=12. -2/12=-6
Jamil has already 6 3/4 cups of butter.
He need 12. SO in order to get the needed butter, we subtract 6 3/4 to 12.
= 12 - 6 3/4
= 11 4/4 - 6 3/4
= 5 1/4
So Jamil needs 5 1/4 cups of butter to achieve the 12 cups.
