What would be the first step you do to solve the equation below? 2x - 4 = 12 Question 1 options: Add 4 Subtract 4 Divide by 2 Multiply by 2

ADD 4

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to get 2x by itself so you want to do opposite of -4 so you would do +4 and they cancel out, and what you do to one side you do to the other so

2x = 12 +4

2x = 16

and then you would divide the 2 on both sides so

x = 8 ... just in case you later need to know what x is :)

80 the answer is 80

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
