-(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
u are distributing the -sign through the parenthesis...so u take the number outside of the parenthesis (and if it just a sign, the number is 1)...and u multiply it by everything in the parenthesis.
-1(-7y + 12) = -1 * -7y + (-1) * 12 = 7y + (-12) = 7y - 12
G(x) = F(x + 4) + 2
Addition of a number to x indicates a shift towards left. Since 4 is being added to x, this means function is shifted to left by 4 units.
Addition of a number to the function represent an upward shift. Since 2 is being added to the function value, this mean function is shifted up by 2 units.
So, G(x) is obtained by shifted F(x) 4 units to left and 2 units up.
Thus, option C is the correct answer
