y = quantity, for example:
I want to buy 1 bracelet =
1×7 = 7 + 1 = 8$ per bracelet
1/3x=x-22
Add 22 to both sides to get 22+1/3x=x
Subtract 1/3x from both sides to get 22=2/3x
Multiply each side by 3/2 to get x=33!
8 x 100 = 800
5 x 10= 50
1x1= 1
6 x 0.10= 0.6
4 x 0.01 = 0.04
= 851.64
When you derive a function from another using the transformation

you're translating the graph of the parent function f(x) horizontally.
More specifically, you translate the graph k units to the left if k is positive, k units to the right if k in negative.
So, starting from the graph of f(x), you have that the graph of

is the same graph of f(x), but shifted 3 units to the left.
