Answer:

(b) 5, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try the answer choices easily enough.

2 +3×8 ≠ 14

2 +3×5 = 17 . . . . this choice works (5, 17)

2 +3×2 ≠ 20

2 +3×4 ≠ 18

2 +3×10 ≠ 12

Or, you can solve the equation:

x + (2 +3x) = 22

4x = 20 . . . . . . . . subtract 2

x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The numbers are 5 and (22 -5) = 17.

Answer:

C'(4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Translated 6 units to the right means that the x-value increases by 6.

1 unit up means y-value increases by 1.

(-5 + 6, -1 + 1)

(-2 + 6, -1 + 1)

The second point must be C, as the translation lines it up with one of the answers.
