If we want to shift the curve some distance b to the right, then we'll need to replace x with x-b. What this effectively does is shift the xy axis itself b units to the left while the curve is fixed in place. This gives the illusion of the curve moving b units to the right.
Put another way: the old input x is updated to the new input x-b which is smaller by b units. This helps explain why the xy axis is shifted to the left this amount.
So that's how we go from to . You can think of it as
There are 3 types of nuts they all have 9 1/3 pounds in them. multiply 3 by 9 /13 to find out how many pounds of nuts there is. 3×9 1/3 That is 28 pounds. Now divide the 28 pounds of nuts into the 14 packages. 28 ÷ 14 There is 2 pounds of nuts in each package.
