If you would like to simplify the expression (x - 8y) - (2x - 4y), you can do this using the following steps:

(x - 8y) - (2x - 4y) = x - 8y - 2x + 4y = -x - 4y

ax + by = -x - 4y
a = -1
b = -4

The value of b would be -4.

 
If you would like to simplify the expression (4x - 6) - (3x + 6), you can do this using the following steps:

(4x - 6) - (3x + 6) = 4x - 6 - 3x - 6 = x - 12

The correct result would be x - 12.

The graph of an exponential function, f(x), is shown. Move numbers to the blanks to describe how f(x) increases and grows over d
yawa3891 [41]

By looking at the graph we can see that f(x) increase by 1 (on the vertical axis . or y-axis ) from 2 to 3, over the interval 0 to 1 ( horizontal axis, or x-axis)

It increases by 2 over the interval 1 to 2.

by 4 over the interval 2 to 3.

And by 8 over the interval 3 to 4.

Therefore this exponential function grows by a factor of 2 (since it doubles every by every interval of 1)
