Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is :

(a) To find f(9), put x = 9 in the above expression.

(b) To find f(x+7), put x = x+7 in the above expression.

(c) To find f(-x), put x = -x in the above expression.

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 5 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
First week
Divide 24 by 8
24/8 = 3 bottles = 1/8
but Sanjay drank 3/8 = 9 bottles
And there are 24 - 9 bottles left = 15
- Second week
Divide 15 by 3
15/3 = 5 then 5 bottles = 1/3
but sanjay drank 2/3 = 10 bottles
Then, there are 15 - 10 bottles left = 5
2,600 is the answer to your question
Without LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24)
2x + 3 = 3x - 8
2x - 3x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11
with LCD :
1/2(4x + 6) = 1/3(9x - 24) ...multiply by 6
3(4x + 6) = 2(9x - 24)
12x + 18 = 18x - 48
12x - 18x = -48 - 18
-6x = - 66
x = -66/-6
x = 11
Yes, the answers are the same :)
