Answer:
(4, 9) is not a solution to 3(x + 2) = y.
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 2) = y
Substitute (4, 9) into the equation.
3(4 + 2) = 9
Add the inside of the parenthesis.
3(6) = 9
Multiply.
18 ≠ 9
Hello There!
X=2
To solve this, we first need to understand that when we see an X in parentheses, we multiply the number before it in this case 4 by X.
The answer is 2 because we multiply 4 by 2 which is the x value so 4*2 is equal to 8 and they we add 9 to it because the sum of 6 and 3 is 9.
Finally, our answer we get is 17 so our X value is 2.
Have A Great Day!
