Sub tract the 3m and you get 2n=8-3m then divide by 2 and you get n=8/2 - 3m/2 and that can be reduced to n= 4 - 3m/2
Note how all four answer choices begin with "x=-2(." This tells us that we have the graph of a horizontal parabola that opens to the left, because of the "-" symbol.
Given that the vertex is located at (-1,-3), we know that the (y-c) term must be (y-[-3]), or (y+3). Thus,we can immediately eliminate answer choices b and d
The only answer choice that fits this situation is (a): x = -2(y+3) - 1.
Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.
Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3
