Determine the solution to the equation below.

2(x-1)= 4x+3

x = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x−1)=4x+3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−1)=4x+3

(2)(x)+(2)(−1)=4x+3(Distribute)

2x+−2=4x+3

2x−2=4x+3

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x−2−4x=4x+3−4x

−2x−2=3

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

−2x−2+2=3+2

−2x=5

Step 4: divide all by -2

-2x/ -2 = 5/-2

x = -5/2

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
