Consider the following set of equations:

equation a: y = 2x + 4
equation b: y = 3x + 1

which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?
a 2x + 4 = 3x + 1
b 2x = 3x + 4
c 2x + 4 = 3x
d 2x + 1 = 3x + 4

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
