For m(x)=-2x+7, find the value of x for which m(x)=13

The answer is x= -3

The explanation if you need it is since m(x)=13 we get the equation 13=-2x+7. Then we use the equation to find x.

13= -2x+7
-7 -7
6= -2x
— —
-2 -2

-3=x

You then want to check your answer by substituting -3 for x

13= -2(-3) +7
13= 6+7
13=13
If your answers match then your answer is correct

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
