Solve for b at the top
And x at the bottom
I’ll give 17 points

b = -1

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - (b - 2) = 11

subtract 8 from both sides

- (b - 2) = 3

distribute

-b + 2 = 3

subtract 2 from both sides

-b = 1

now, to make the b positive, we make the other side negative by multiplying.

b = -1

-2x+ 4 = 5 -3x

subtract 4 from both sides

-2x = 1 -3x

add 3x to both sides

1x = 1

divide by 1

x = 1

(hopefully this helps?)

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
