F (x) = 2x + 3; find f (–1)" (pronounced as "f-of-x equals 2x plus three; find f-of-negative-one"). In either notation, you do exactly the same thing: you plug –1 in for x, multiply by the 2, and then add in the 3, simplifying to get a final value of +1
Addition property of equality
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Both equations are equal to y, so they're also equal to each other. We then set them equal to each other:
x^2 - 2x + 1 = x^2 + 2x - 7
We now do algebra to isolate x. Subtract 1 from both sides.
x^2 - 2x = x^2 + 2x - 8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x^2 - 4x = x^2 - 8
Subtract x^2 from both sides.
-4x = -8
Divide both sides by -4.
x = 2
Let us say that this number is n
Then we could say:
<em><u>n - 9</u></em>
10 would be called the Minuend.
4 would be called the Subtrahend.
4 would be the Difference.
