Step-by-step explanation:
.....because the coefficient of x is 2, a positive number.
Answer:
-2(57+8) = 14 + 6x
step 1 -2 x 57 and -2 x 8 =
step 2 -114-16 = 14 + 6x
+16 +16
step 3 -114 = 30 + 6x
-30 -30
step 4 -144 = 6x
-144/6 6/6
x = -24
-2(5x + 8) = 14 + 6x
step 1 -2 x 5x and -2 x 8 =
-10x - 16 = 14 + 6x
step 2 -6x -6x
-16x -16 = 14
step 3 +16 +16
-16x = 30
step 4 -16/-16 30/-16
x= -15/8
In the top the "f(x)" equals 9, now they are asking you to add onto the 9 by 1 causing it to be 10. If you did the first few you would have noticed that it takes 9 in order to get to 5 from -4.
here are the answers btw:
