Given the function f(x) = -5x + 11 + 3, for what values of x is f(x) = -12?
Bleas

x = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first simplify our first function:

Now, we just need to set this function equal to our other given function.

Now, we can add 12 to both sides:

Now, add 5x to both sides:

Finally, we'll divide both sides by 5:

x = 5.2

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
