If f(x) = 2x – 6 find f(7) - 9. *

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug 7 in for wherever there's an "x."

f(x) = 2(7) - 6

f(x) = 14 - 6

f(x) = 8

Now subtract 9 from 8.

8 - 9 = -1

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

the answer is c
