Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
When f(x) is equal to 0, x=4.
Answer:
2x - 10 = 44 + 8x
7x - 4 = 20 =3x
2(x-3) = -20
15 - 4x + 5 = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
2*x-10-(44+8*x)=0
Pull out like factors :
-6x - 54 = -6 • (x + 9)
-6 = 0
Solve : x+9 = 0
Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :
x = -9
x = -9
Move all terms containing

divide each term by 4
x = 6
2(x−3)=−20
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(x−3)=−20
2x−6=−20
Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.
2x−6+6=−20+6
2x=−14
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

x=−7
−4x+20=32
Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.
−4x+20−20=32−20
−4x=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

x=−3
If the equation is let's say 3x+ 7 +4x to combine like terms, you would take 3x and 4x since they both have x. You wouldn't take the 7 since it doesn't have and x like the other numbers. 3x +4x = 7x so your new equation would be 7x + 7.
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
