Me and plz explain thoroughly i need asap! given the function f(x) = 2(x + 8), find x if f(x) = 12. 2 40 −2 14

f(x) = 2(x+8)

replace f(x) with 12 and then solve for x:

12 = 2(x +8)

Use the distributive Property on the right side:

12 = 2x +16

Subtract 16 from each side:

-4 - 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = -4 / 2

x = -2

−2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(x+8)

f(x) = 12

12 = 2(x+8)

Divide each side by 2

12/2 = 2/2(x+8)

6 = x+8

Subtract 8 from each side

6-8 =x+8-8

-2 = x

3

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
