16 is that the circumference of the circle
Let's take the 2 numbers are a and b.
a + b =14
if a > b
a - 3b = -2
Subtract both numbers
4b = 16
b = 4
lesser number is 4.
You would shift this to the right 8 places. This is because in vertex form, the x value is the opposite of the number in the parenthesis with the x.
Answer: the question can only be simplified to -8z-12 because there is no equal sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
(4z - 12) - 12z
-8z-12
A star is written to show multiplication. It is a replacement for a dot or a x which is what you probably learned to be the "times" sign. In upper level maths, the "x" is replaced with a " * " to make it more legible and to avoid confusion with the variable "x".
