Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4(4x + -3) = 36
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + 4x) = 36
(-3 * 4 + 4x * 4) = 36
(-12 + 16x) = 36
Solving
-12 + 16x = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 16x = 36 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 16x = 36 + 12
16x = 36 + 12
Combine like terms: 36 + 12 = 48
16x = 48
Divide each side by '16'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
The ordered pairs are (1,-1) (1,-2) (2,-3) (2,-4).
This is not a function because in order to be a function, every x value needs to have one and only one y value. You can see here that the x values have two y values, so it is not a function.
