Answer:

<h3>Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

- 2 (x + 3) = - 10

The first step in solving the expression is to multiply both sides by -1/2 as shown;

-1/2(-2)(x+3) = -1/2(-10)

(x +3) = 1/2(10)

x + 3 = 5

x = 5-3

x = 2

Hence the correct option is Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table, we have:

$y_{2}=4x^2$

⇒ $a=4(1)^2$

⇒ $a=4$

$y_{3}=4^x$

⇒ $b=4^1$

⇒ $b=4$

$y_{1}=4x$

⇒ $c=4(2)$

⇒ $c=8$

$y_{3}=4^x$

⇒ $d=4^2$

⇒ $d=16$

$y_{1}=4x$

⇒ $e=4(3)$

⇒ $e=12$

$y_{2}=4x^2$

⇒ $f=4(3)^2$

⇒ $f=36$ and

$y_{3}=4^x$

⇒ $g=4^3$

⇒ $g=64$

Therefore, the value of a,b,c,d,e,f and g is 4,4,8,16,12,36 and 64 respectively.
