Simplify the equation
f(x) = 2x + 8 - 8
f(x) = 2x
Now substitute the x values
f(24) = 2(24) = 48
f(8) = 2(8) = 16
f(2) = 2(2) = 4
f(-2) = 2(-2) = -4
The correct answer is 4. (-2,-4)
2x-6=14 2x=20
a)x=10
-5x5=40 -5x=35
B)x=-7
12x+240=24 12x=-216
C) x=-18
X + y = 2
Substitute x + 8 into y
x + x + 8 = 2
2x + 8 =2
(Subtract 8 from both sides)
2x = -6
(Divide both sides by 2)
x = -3
Subsitute x = -3 into either equation to find y
x + y = 2
-3 + y = 2
(Add 3 to both sides)
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
Or y can be solved for using:
y = x + 8
y = -3 + 8
y = 5
X-2y = 3
-2y=3-x move the x over to the other side
-y=3/2 -1/2x divide both sides by 2
y=1/2x - 3/2 divide both sides by -1
