Answer:
<em>x = 3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x + 1 = 7
2x + 1 - 1 = 7 - 1
<u>2x = 6</u>
(1 - 1 will cancel itself out on the side with the variable.)
Step 2:
Divide both sides by 2
2x = 6
2x ÷ 2 = 6 ÷ 2
<u>x = 6 ÷ 2</u>
(2 divide by 2, will cancel itself out on the side with the variable.)
Step 3:
Solve for x
6 ÷ 2 = 3
x = 6 ÷ 2 = 3
<u>x = 3</u>
I hope u can understand this, let me know if anything is unclear
This is what I got, but you might want to double check me because I'm not that good at math (this is what I got for the discontinuity);
1. f(x)= x^2+6+8/x+4
*x+4=0
-4 -4
x= -4
This means that x cannot equal -4
2. f(x)= (x+2)(x-4)/(x+2)(x+2)
*Note: When I did my calculations, I cancelled out all (x+2) binomials except for one in the denominator*
f(x)= x-4/x+2
*x+2=0
-2 -2
x= -2
This means x cannot equal -2
*You may want to check my work, but I believe that your answer is going to be either C or D. Personally, I assume it's C, but that's just me. Anyway, it's probably going to be C or D, or at least that's what I think.*
