It’d be 2=-2 ... but then subtract two from both side and the answer is a null set. Also known as “no solution”..
Best of luck in your studies :)

Answer:
a)
b) 2012, 1049 stores. 2014, 1041 stores. c) Yes it is a downsizing company.
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
s=year | f(s) = number of stores per year
1 | 1078
4| 1067

s=1 in 2003

b) For 2012, s=9. For 2014, s=11

c) In deed. Since the function shows a decreasing amount of JC Penney stores. Maybe this is a downsizing from this company, progressively closing some stores.
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, f(x)=x^2 divided by 3x+x, or
f(x) = (x^2)/(3x+x)
f(6) --> plug the 6 in to all values of x --> f(6) = (6^2)/(3×6 + 6) = 36/(18+6)
= 36/24 --> both are divisible by 12, so 36/12=3 and 24/12=2, now we have the reduced (simplified) answer:
f(6) = 3/2, or 1 1/2, or 1.5
