The first digit in will be in the hundreds place.
<h2>f = -5</h2><h3></h3><h3>f(x) = 4x - 9</h3><h3>Add 9 to both sides</h3><h3>f(x) + 9 = 4x</h3><h3>Divide x from both sides</h3><h3>f + 9 = 4</h3><h3>Subtract 9 from both sides</h3><h3>f = -5</h3><h3></h3><h3><em>Please let me know if I am wrong.</em></h3>
Let's look at an example:
2.24 x 21.6

Do normal multiplication and get
48384 This is not correct, until we put the decimals in. To know how to do this, count the number of decimal spaces from the factors. In 2.24, there are 2, because .24. In 21.6 there are 1 because of .6. This mean three places, so 48384 becomes
48.384

Answer:
b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms
-13 +3b = -5-b
Add b to each side
-13+3b+b = -5-b+b
-13+4b = -5
Add 13 to each side
-13+13 +4b = -5+13
4b = 8
Divide by 4
4b/4 = 8/4
b = 2
