f(x) = 2(3x)
Exponential functions represent the initial value outside of the parentheses so if 2 is the initial value it has to be on the outside of the parentheses.

Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?</span><span>2x + y > –4</span>The solutions are (-1, 2) and (1, -5), look at the graph in the attachment.
Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?There is no equation
Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?Convert to slope-intercept form:
6x - 3y = 4
Subtract 6x to both sides:
-3y = -6x + 4
Divide -3 to both sides:
y = -6/-3x + 4/-3
Simplify:
y = 2x - 4/3
Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.
Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?15y - 3(4y + 10)
Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:
15y - 12y - 30
Combine like terms:
3y - 30
The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
