Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=3x−2 so when the variable x is replace with an actual value ( − 1 ) we get f(−1)=3(−1)−2
=−3−2
=−5
3x + 4y = 31
2x - 4y = -6
*The +4 and -4 in the center of the equation cancel out because 4-4 = 0*
3x = 31
2x = -6
------------
*add like terms*
3x + 2x = 5x
31 - 6 = 25
So now you should have this written on your paper ... > 5x = 25
*Divide by 5 on each side*
5x = 25

5 5
x = 5
Hello there!
Let's use foil.
First: 4x * 2x = 8x^2
Outside: 4x * -9 = -36x
Inside: -7 * 2x = -14x
Last: -7 * -9 = 63
Now, let's combine these.
8x^2 - 36x - 14x + 63
Finally, we can simplify this
8x - 50x + 63
I hope I helped!
Let me know if you need anything else!
