2+ 3(x + 2x) = −2x(2 − 4) + 1
a) −5
b) − 1 5
c) 5
d) 1 5

B - 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3(x + 2x) = −2x(2 − 4) + 1

2 + 3(3x) = −2x(-2) + 1

2 + 9x= 4x + 1

Collect like terms

9x - 4x = 1 - 2

5x = - 1

Divide both side by 5

5x/5 = - 1/5

X= - 1/5

answer:

c) the x-coordinate of the center of the circle increases by 3
