X is equal to 4
Because RS + ST=RT
So basically x+3x=5x-4
4x=5x-4
-4x -4x
-1x=-4
x=4
A contraction would make the image smaller.
A negative number reflects the image and changes the size based on the number.
To make an image smaller the factor needs to be less than 1
so -0.5 and 0.5 would make the image smaller since 0.5 is less than 1.
By increasing the number of blue widgets supplied
g(x) = -3x - 8
g(x) = 10
⇒ -3x - 8 = 10
⇒ -3x = 18
⇒ x= -6
g(-6) = 10 <==== answer is -6
