7x + 3(x - 2) - 4x + 8

First, gather like terms. / Your problem should look like: (7x - 4x) + 3(x - 2) + 8
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 3x + 3 (x - 2) + 8
Third, expand. / Your problem should look like: 3x + 3x - 6 + 8
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 6x - 6 + 8
Fifth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: 6x + 2

Answer: 6x + 2

Answer:

D. The graph of function $g$ is the graph of function $f$ shifted 4 units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

the function $g$ is composite function between $f$ and $x + 4$ , then you can re-write $g$ as:

$g(x) = 10^{x+4}$

The transformation happened in the input, then you have an horizontal shifted and how it's adding 4 units then you go "faster" and move to left the graph.

In the image you can see what's mean sum a constant in the $x$ of a function.
