#5 is very nicely and correctly done.
#7 says: "No matter what X may be, this function of it is always 9 more than 1/2 of X .".
That's a very powerful statement. Now you know that if X is ever 2, the function will be 1/2(2)+9 which is 10.
If X is ever zero, the function will be 1/2(0)+9 which is 9. If X is ever a cow, the function will be 1/2 of a cow, plus the number 9. Which makes no sense, but that's what the function says.
So, when X is -8, the function is 1/2 of -8, plus 9. Which is 5 ... the 'f' of -8.
Whatever X happens to be at the moment, just write that number in place of X in the function, and it'll show you the function of what X is.
f(a bazillion) = 1/2(a bazillion) + 9 .
f(a-28) = 1/2(a-28) + 9 (but simplify it)

For future reference: When two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there.
Answer:
28 portraits
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first figure out how many portraits Lamy can paint in 1 week, which is his <u>unit rate</u>. To calculate this, we just have to divide the number of portraits he paints by the amount of time it takes him to paint them.
In this case, the former quantity is 84 portraits, and the latter quantity is 6 weeks, so his unit rate is
= 14 paintings per week.
Now, we know that in 1 week, Lamy can paint 14 portraits. Therefore, since this is a <u>directly proportional relationship</u>, all we have to do to find how many portraits he can paint is 2 weeks is double the unit rate. This is because in a directly proportional relationship, if you multiply one variable by a number, you have to multiply the other by the same number to maintain equality, and here we are multiplying weeks by 2 so we need to multiply paintings by 2 as well.
Thus, Lamy can paint 14 · 2 = 28 paintings in 2 weeks.
Hope this helps!
