The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.

<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>

An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.

Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.

WE have been given an equation as;

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.

Case 1: original equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = 5x + 12

x - 5x = 12 + 4

-4x = 16

x = -4

Case 2: Opposite equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = - (5x + 12)

x - 4 = - 5x - 12

x + 5x = -12 + 4

6x = -8

x = -4/3

Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;

Check:

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x = -4

|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12

| -8 | = -20 + 12

8 = -8              

Thus, it is Not a solution

Now,  |x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x =  -4/3

| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12

|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12

|-16/3 | = 16/3

16/3 = 16/3

Thus, it is the  Solution.

Find the rule and the graph of the function whose graph can be obtained by performing the translation 3 units left and 2 units d
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

 1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:

f(x)=x³ (This is the simplest form. We need to translate it 3 units left and 2 units down)

2. If you take the parent function and make y=f(x+3), then you have:

y=f(x+3)=(x+3)^{3} (The function is shifted 3 units left on the x-axis).

3. Then you if you make y=f(x+3)-2, as following, you obtain:

y=f(x+3)-2=(x+3)^{3}-2  (The function is shifted 2 units down on the y-axis).

4. Therefore, that is how you obtain the final function.

The answer is the graph shown in the option a.
