23=9-4x I don’t understand this equation

x= -3.5 or x=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

23 = 9 - 4x

We want to solve for the variable, x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, let's rearrange the equation.

23 = 9 -4x

23= -4x +9

9 is being added to -4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

23-9= -4x +9-9

23-9= -4x

14 = -4x

-4 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

14/-4= -4x/-4

14/-4= x

-7/2=x

-3.5=x

Let's check our solution. Plug -3.5 in for x and solve.

23=9-4x    (x=-3.5)

23= 9-4(-3.5)

23= 9- -14

23= 9+14

The statement above is true, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to the equation is x= -3.5 or x= -7/2

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
