These two equations from the question!
Fred + 6 = John , John + 4 = 2Fred

Now we’re going to use the 2nd equation:
John + 4 = 2Fred
(Fred + 6) + 4 = 2Fred
Fred + 10 = 2Fred
10 = Fred

Now we’re re going to use first equation:
Fred + 6 = John
10 + 6 = John

So, John is 16 years old!

If f(-3) = -8, then f(x)= 3x +
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

f(x)= 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the unknown variable as b, since it's a linear equation.

Using the point given (-3, -8), we can find b by plugging in the known numbers and solving.

-8 = -3 (3) + b

-8 = -9 + b

b = 1

If you want, you can check it by forming the complete equation and plugging in -3.

f(x)= 3x + 1

f(-3) = -9 + 1

f(-3) = -8 = -8

I hope this helped!
