I hope this helps you
Good luck on the rest :)
Reflected across x axis means y turns to -y, meaning, multiply the whole function by -1
f(x) times -1=-1 times (x+6)=-x-6
A is answer
Hello!
First of all, let's undo the parentheses.
8x+6=18
Now we subtract 6 from both sides.
8x=12
Finally, we divide both sides by 8.
x=1.5
I hope this helps!
4x+12=1x+60
4x+12=x+60 Move terms
4x-x=60-12 collect the like terms
Subtract
3x=48
Divide both sides by 3
X=16
