After solving the given equation, you will find out that x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

From my understanding, the unknown value of x has to be calculated in this equation

1. Bracket open

-2(-4x - 2) - 5x + 5 = -12

8x + 4 -5x + 5 = -12

2. Take all variables at the left side and all numbers at the right side

8x - 5x = -12-4-5

3. Make x the subject

3x = -21

x = $\frac{-21}{3}$

4. Solve to find x

x = -7

Therefore, the value of x is -7

Answer:

f(x) has a larger growth rate

f(x) is always greater than g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2/5 x

g(x) = -2x

the slope of f(x) when graphed is 2/5 x, which is a positive value making it a larger growth rate than g(x) and it also will always be greater since the value of f(x) is positive

therefore the correct true statements are:

f(x) has a larger growth rate, and f(x) is always greater than g(x)
