6x - 12 + x = 9

6x + x - 12 = 9

Collect like terms

7x - 12 = 9

Add both sides 12

7x - 12 + 12 = 9 + 12

7x = 21

Divide both sides by 7

7x ÷ 7 = 21 ÷ 7

x = 3

The graph of the equation x=y2+4is symmetric with respect to which of the following

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the equation x=y2+4 is symmetric with respect to the x-axis.

To test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis we substitute -y in place of y and simplify the equation. If the resulting equation is identical to original one then the function is symmetric with respect to the x-axis;

$x=y^{2} +4\\x=(-y)^{2} +4\\x=y^{2} +4$

which is identical to the original equation
