Help!!! BADGE FOR BEST ANSWER!

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Find x if f(x) = 2x + 7 and f(x) = -1

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Please give me a step by step explanation, not just the answer :)

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Oh! By the way, my options are -4 -3 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so basically the equation is -1= 2(-4)+7

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Okay! So far, that makes sense!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I brain farted and gave you the answer lol sorry but in problems like this they put f(x) to purposefully throw you off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

moving on though you solve the equation. f(x)=2(-4)+7 2(-4)= -8 So f(x)=-8+7 which equals -1 so your equation is -1=-1 that is a true statement so -4 is your answer!

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):
