Answer: x = -1/2 = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation

4x + 7 = 5 subtract 7 from both sides

4x = - 2 divide both sides by 4

x = -2/4

x = -1/2 = -0.5

otez555 [7]

The answer would be p= -2

To check it:
-2(5(-2) - 3) = 26
-2(-10-3) = 26
-2(-13) = 26
26 = 26

What is the range of the function f(x) = 4x + 9, given the domain D = {-4, -2, 0, 2}? please help

neonofarm [45]

Since this is a linear function, filling in the minimum and maximum of the domain is sufficient.

f(-4) = -16 + 9 = -7
f(2)= 8 + 9 = 17

So the range of the function (given the domain) :
R = {-7, 17}

We can use an equation to solve this:

(3/4) * (3/4) = (9/16)
