Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = -2t + 3

f(-2) = -2 x -2 + 3 [ substituting the value]

f(-2) = -4 + 3

f(-2) = -1

4(x + 3) = 6-x what is the answer I need help please

Amanda [17]

4(x + 3) = 6 - x

First, expand to remove parentheses.
$4x + 12 = 6 - x$
Second, subtract '6' from both sides.
$4x + 12 - 6 = -x$
Third, subtract '12 - 6' to get 6.
$4x + 6 = -x$
Fourth, subtract '4x' from both sides.
$6 = -x - 4x$
Fifth, since 'x' can be referred to as '1', add it to '4x' to get '-5x'.
$6 = -5x$
Sixth, divide both sides by '-5'.
$\frac{6}{-5} =x$
Seventh, change the whole fraction into a negative.
$-\frac{6}{5} =x$
Eighth, switch your sides.
$x = -\frac{6}{5}$

Answer as fraction: $-\frac{6}{5}$
Answer as decimal: -1.2

Points F and E on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two midfield players of a soccer team:

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

F is E reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of F and E are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

" Points F and E on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two midfield players of a soccer team:

Coordinate grid shown from negative 4 to positive 4 on x-axis and negative 4 to positive 4 on y-axis. From the origin, point E is 1.5 units to the left and 3 units up. From the origin, point F is 1.5 units to the right and 3 units up.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the positions of the two midfield players? (1 point)

Based on the coordinate of E;

The value on the x axis is -1.5 since the point is 1.5unitsTO THE LEFT from the origin(-ve x-axis acts towards the left in space). The value on the y-axis will be +3units since its 3units UP(+ve y axis acts upward).

The E coordinates will therefore be (-1.5, 3)

Similarly, for coordinate F:

If from the origin, point F is 1.5 units TO THE RIGHT, then the x-axis will be +1.5 (x-axis is positive towards the right) and +3 units up(+ve y axis acts upward).

The F coordinate will therefore be;

(1.5, 3).

From both coordinates, it can be seen that both x axis are of the same value but different signs. This means that the points E and F will act in the opposite side of the y-axis and a reflector of each other.

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that "F is E reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of F and E are different."
