Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
14 - 3 x 4
P. parentheses
E. exponent
M. D. Multiplication and division
A. S. Addition and subtraction
***************************************************
P. E. there is nothing so we skip
M. 3 x 4 = 12
D. there is nothing so we skip
A. there is nothing so we skip
S. 14 - 12 = 2
3 times a number is 3x
decreased by 14 is '- 14'
is 4 is '= 4'
So we have:
3x - 14 = 4
Add 14 to both sides:
3x = 18
Divide 3 to both sides:
x = 6
a=-2
Let me know if you need the steps tho.
now it would be $78
OC. the graph crosses the x-axis
