Answer:

x = -1/2 or -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (4 - x) = 12x - 3

Distribute the -2

-8 + 2x = 12x -3

Add 3 to both sides

-5 + 2x = 12x

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10

x = -1/2 or -0.5

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (4 - x) = 12x – 3

-8+2x=12x-3

+8 +8

2x=12x+5

-12x -12x

-10x=5

/-10 /-10

= -1/2

The linear parent function, f(x) = x was transformed to create a graph g(x) = f(x) - 1

levacccp [35]

Subtracting 1 from the function notation will decrease the y-values on the graph by 1 unit.

This will shift then entire graph of f down by 1 unit to create the graph of g.

Wy. e) The quotient of two numbers is equal to the sum of those numbers

frozen [14]

Answer:

"The quotient of two numbers is equal to the sum of the numbers" can be expressed by x/y = x + y, but the statement is false. You can't plug in any old x and y and expect the statement to be true. Just think of the equation y=10x+5.
