Question

Y is equal to the additive inverse of 4x. Use this information to find the value of the expression 17x + 3y in terms of x.

Answer 1

5x

Explanation:

The additive inverse of a function is that value added that will sum it up to zero

If y is the additive inverse of 4x, then y = -4x

Given the expression 17x+3y

Substitute y = -4x into the expression to have;

17x + 3(-4x)

17x -12x

5x

Hence the value of the expression in terms of x is 5x
