You entered the previous function of y=2x\u22128y = 2x &#8211; 8. Create an equation that we could solve using this function. Provide the correct answer and 300-word explanation.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s create an equation from the function y=2x\u22128y = 2x &#8211; 8. We can set the function equal to a value and solve for xx. For example: 2x\u22128=42x &#8211; 8 = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now solve the equation:<\/strong> 2x\u22128=42x &#8211; 8 = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Add 8 to both sides: 2x=122x = 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Divide both sides by 2: x=6x = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explanation (300 words):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create an equation using a linear function such as y=2x\u22128y = 2x &#8211; 8, we can think of this function as a rule that takes an input value xx, doubles it (multiplies it by 2), and then subtracts 8 to produce the output yy. This type of function is called a <strong>linear function<\/strong> because its graph is a straight line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To form an equation, we choose a specific value for yy and set the function equal to that value. In this example, we used y=4y = 4. This gave us the equation 2x\u22128=42x &#8211; 8 = 4, which we then solved to find the corresponding xx-value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of solving this equation involves reversing the operations done by the function. Since the function multiplies by 2 and then subtracts 8, we reverse this by first adding 8 and then dividing by 2. Doing so leads us to x=6x = 6, meaning that when x=6x = 6, the function outputs y=4y = 4. You can check this by substituting 6 back into the function: y=2(6)\u22128=12\u22128=4y = 2(6) &#8211; 8 = 12 &#8211; 8 = 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful in real-life scenarios where you know the result and want to find the original input. For example, if the function represents a pricing model, and you know the final price is $4, solving the equation tells you the quantity that results in that price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> The equation is 2x\u22128=42x &#8211; 8 = 4, and the solution is x=6x = 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
