What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x + 5) = 16?
1/6
31/6
6/31
7/3

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(2x + 5) = 16 ← distribute left side

6x + 15 = 16 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

6x = 1 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x =

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
