Answer:

should be - 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3b + 2.5 = 4

1.Turn the equation around

1. -3b = -2.5 + 4.

1. The reason why you turn the 2.5 into a negative is because you basically doing the oppisite if that makes sence.

2. Add -2.5 + 4

2. -2.5 + 4 = 1.5

2. I just added.

3. Plug 1.5 into the equation. Like so

3. -3b = 1.5

3. I just replaced -2.4 + 4 with the answer

4. Divied -3b = 1.5

4. -3b/-3b = 1.5/-3b = -0.5

4. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so -3b/-3b is 0 or it just is not there anymore next you take -3b and divide it by 1.5 and get - 0.5 BAM.  

5. Plug -0.5 in for b.

5. -3(-0.5) + 2.5 = 4

Answer:

C. y = | x | – 13

Step-by-step explanation:

y = | x | – 13

Answer:

y = |x| -13

Step-by-step explanation:

recall for any function y = f(x), to translate the function vertically by any value "a", we simply have to add "a" to f(x).

If a is positive, then the graph is translated in the positive y-direction (i.e upwards), if a is negative, then the graph is translated in the negative y-direction (i.e downwards)

In our case , the graph is translated vertically by 13 units (i.e a = 13) and it is to be translated downwards (i.e negative)

hence we add a= -13 to the original function.

y = f(x) + (-13)

y = |x| + (-13)

y = |x| -13
