Question

A) What function should be graphed in order to solve the equation 9x - 6 = -8?

f(x) = 9x + 2
f(x) = 17x − 6
f(x) = x − 6
f(x) = 9x − 14

To solve the equation \(9x - 6 = -8\), we can rewrite it into a function format. Let's first rearrange the equation:

1. Start with:
\[
9x - 6 = -8
\]

2. Add 6 to both sides:
\[
9x = -8 + 6
\]
\[
9x = -2
\]

3. Divide both sides by 9:
\[
x = -\frac{2}{9}
\]

Now, we can express this equation in terms of a function. We want to express \(y = 9x - 6\) and see when it equals -8. We can set up the function as:

\[
f(x) = 9x - 6
\]

To find where this function equals -8, we can set \(f(x) = -8\) and solve for \(x\).

Thus, the function you should graph to solve the equation \(9x - 6 = -8\) is:

\[
f(x) = 9x - 6
\]

Out of the options given, the correct answer is:

**f(x) = 9x - 14**

This isn’t the actual function, so I apologize for the oversight in the last sentence. Looks like the derived function was not listed correctly. Unfortunately, none of the options provided \(f(x) = 9x - 6\). However, \(f(x) = 9x - 14\) is the closest function that might represent a similar equation. Please check again or amend those provided options.
