-2x + 1 = -x + 8 solve for X?

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 1 = -x + 8

* isolate the variable using inverse operations *

step 1 add 2x to each side

-2x + 2x cancels out

-x +2x = x

now we have 1 = x + 8

step 2 subtract 8 from each side

8 - 8 cancels out

1 - 8 = -7

we're left with x = - 7

g(x) = x² + 2

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the graphs are the same shape.

the only difference is that the red graph is 2 units higher than the blue graph.

that is to say that the red graph is simply the blue graph that has been moved vertically by 2 units in the positive y direction.

hence

g(x) = f(x) + 2

or

g(x) = x² + 2

what’s the question?
