Answer:
Plug x-7 in for y, in the bottom equation.
x - 7 = 2 + 2x - 4
x - 7 = 2x - 2
x = 2x + 5
-x = 5
x = -5

The initial value of this function is the y-intercept. We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

Writing our equation in slope intercept form:

So the initial value is:

Answer:
x = 11, y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent by the postulate SSS
Equate the congruent sides in the 2 triangles
BC = ED, that is
x + 3 = 14 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = 11
-------------------------------------
DF = AB, that is
x - y = 3 ← substitute x = 11
11 - y = 3 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- y = 3 - 11 = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 8
C because -3 is less than 2 and we’ll stay the same
