The rate of change aka slope is -2
<u><em>When x = -2</em></u>, f(x) = -7(-2) + 3 = 14 + 3
<u><em>x = 17</em></u>
<u><em>When x = 5</em></u>, f(x) = -7(5) + 3 = -35 + 3
<u><em>x = -32</em></u>
All you have to do to solve the function is substitute the value of x into the equation.

It would seem the only solution is 0, but

and the denominator of the fraction can't be equal zero, therefore there's no solution.
Answer:
The Answer is: 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 4 = x + 6
Subtract x from both sides:
2x - x - 4 = x - x + 6
x - 4 = 6
Add 4 to both sides:
x -4 + 4 = 6 + 4
x = 10
