Can someone please explain? I don't understand.

Don't worry, I had a bunch of trouble with this, too.

<span>y = x + 4
y = −2x − 2

Basically, you substitute y for x+4.

Real quick, you know how if you have a problem like, [ y = 3x + 5 ], you're told that x = 2, then solve for y? Substatute basically means replace. So when you're replacing x with 2, your substituting x for 2. The problem you've shown is just a little more complicated.

So you start with this problem:
</span>y = x + 4
y = −2x − 2

Then you replace one y with what the other one is equaled to.

So you end up with something like this:
x + 4 = −2x − 2

Then just solve :)

3x = -6

x = -2

I hope this helps! :D Feel free to ask any questions.
And please, only if you think I deserve it, it would help a bunch if you marked this answer as branliest!

A trapezoidal sum is an underestimate when the function is.

Answer: Concave down

Explanation:

An example is shown below. We have the concave down parabola $y = -x^2+7$ marked in red. The trapezoidal sum is in blue. The three trapezoids combine to something just a bit smaller than the true area under the curve from x = -2 to x = 1. Therefore, this trapezoidal sum is an underestimate of the true area under the curve.
