Answer is a= 51/7 or 7 2/7

Step by step

-2/3 (a + 3) = 5/3a - 19

Distribute to resolve parentheses

-2/3a -2 = 5/3a - 19

Now to move variables to one side
Add 2/3a to both sides

-2/3a + 2/3a -2 = 5/3a + 2/3a -19

Combine like terms

-2 = 7/3a -19

Add 19 to both sides to isolate variable

-2 +19 = 7/3a -19 + 19

17 = 7/3a

Divide both sides by 7/3 to solve for a
(Remember when you divide a fraction, flip it and multiply.)

17 * 3/7 = a

51/7 = a

If f(x) = x2, which of the following describes the graph of f(x - 1)? A. The graph of f(x - 1) is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this, we can look at the vertical & horizontal translations of a parabola of the form $f(x)=x^2$

A vertically translated parabola has the form $f(x)=x^2+k$ , where k is the vertical shift upward when k is positive and vertical shift downward when k is negative.
A horizontally translated parabola has the form $f(x)=(x-a)^2$ , where a is the horizontal shift rightward when a is positive and horizontal shift leftward when a is negative.

When we replace x of the original function with (x-1), we have $f(x)=(x-1)^2$ . According to the rules, this means that the original function is shifted 1 unit right (horizontal shift).
