First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21. 

                                           x - 5 = 21      ; x = 26

Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.

Alik [6]


We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.

Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1
