Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 3x - 6 = 2x + 2
- Subtract 2x on both sides: x - 6 = 2
- Add 6 to both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) = 2(8 + 1)
- Subtract/Add: 3(6) = 2(9)
- Multiply: 18 = 18
Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.
∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x - 7
What does f(x) mean? It means that whatever variable you have on the left which is (x), the same variable must be on the right.
So f(2) means that whatever variable is on the right, it must be replaced with 2 on the right. So .....
f(2) = 4(2) - 7
f(2) = 8 - 7
f(2) = 1
