mrs_skeptik [129]

Put the value of x = -1 to the equation of a function f(x):

$f(x)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{3x+12}\\\\f(-1)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{3(-1)+12}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^{-3+12}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times3^9=\dfrac{2}{1}\times3^8=13,122\to\boxed{B.}$

What is the reason for each strip on the solution of the equation?

Pani-rosa [81]

Step 1: Given

Step 2: Distributive Property

Step 3: Addition Property of Equality

Step 4: Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to match the reason with the correct step in the equation.

Equation:

Given:

$2x = -4(x-3)$

Applying Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2x=-4x+12$

Now, Applying addition property of equality:

Adding +4x on both sides

$2x+4x=-4x+12+4x\\6x=12$

Now, Applying Division property of Equality:

Divide both sides by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{12}{6}\\x=2$

So, Answer will be:

Step 1: Given

Step 2: Distributive Property

Step 3: Addition Property of Equality

Step 4: Division Property of Equality
