We need to get x alone, to do that we add 1 to both sides to cancel out the -1 on the right.
-4 = x -1
+1 +1
-3=x
This means x is equal to -3. Hope this helps!

Answer:

First tangent line:

Second tangent line:

Notice: slope of -1 means that both
are equal to -1, so 
Answer:
75 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
16 times x=1200 or
16x=1200
divide both sides by 16
1200/16
so we simplify 1200/16 by factoring out the ones (4/8=1/2 times 4/4 since 4/4=1)
1200=3*2*2*2*2*5*5
16=2*2*2*2*1
so we notice that there are four 2's in both so those are the 'ones' so cross them off and get
3*5*5/1 or 75/1 or 75 hours
