-7 = x/2 + 1
Subtract one from both sides
-8 = x/2
Multiply two on both sides
-16 = x
Answer, x = -16
Checking,
-7 = (-16/2) + 1
-7 = -8 + 1
-7 = -7
Replace x with the binomial a - 2.
f(a - 2) = [3(a - 2) + 5]/(a- 2)
f(a - 2) = [3a - 6 + 5]/(a - 2)
f(a - 2) = [3a - 1]/(a - 2)
f(a - 2) = (3a - 1)/(a - 2)
Done.
What are the numbers for the other ones?
Answer: C (0,3) because the two lines meet at the point (0,3)
