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:

The answer to your question is: Yes, someone undoubtedly can.
Although you haven't asked to be told or shown how to solve it, I'm here
already, so I may as well stick around and go through it with you.
The sheet is telling you to find the solutions to two equations, AND THEN
DO SOMETHING WITH THE TWO SOLUTIONS. But you've cut off the
instructions in the pictures, so all we have are the two equations, and
you'll have to figure out what to do with their solutions.
<u>First equation:</u>
(2/5) x - 6 = -2
Add 6 to each side:
(2/5) x = 4
Multiply each side by 5:
2x = 20
Divide each side by 2 :
<u>x = 10</u>
<u>Second equation:</u>
-3y + 1/4 = 13/4
Subtract 1/4 from each side:
-3y = 12/4
Multiply each side by 4 :
-12 y = 12
Divide each side by -12 :
<u> y = -1</u>
