Answer:

D. Distributive proprety

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have to distribute 2 to make it 2x and then do 2 (12) which is 24 and then add 2 to it again which equals 40

Equation: 2(x - 12) + 2 = 40

1. E) Division property of equality: Allows us to divide the whole equation, here, by 2, which gives us x - 12 + 1 = 20

2. C) Combine like terms: Allows us to combine like terms, here, combining on the left side of the equation gives us x - 11 = 20

3. A) Addition property of equality: Allows us to subtract the whole equation, here, by 11, gives us x = 31

When you compare two functions f(x) and g(x), you're looking for a special input $x^\ast$ such that

$f(x^\ast)=g(x^\ast)$

Since you have the table with some possible candidates for $x^\ast$ , you simply have to choose the row that gives values for f(x) and g(x) that are as close as possible (the exact solution would give the same value for f(x) and g(x), so the approximate solution will give values for f(x) and g(x) that are close to each other).

In your table, the values for f(x) and g(x) are closer when x=-0.75
