Can someone help me with this? am i supposed to graph

Step-by-step explanation:

1). a(x) = -4x + 7  If x > 1

   a(8) = -4(8) + 7

          = -32 + 7

          = -25

2). a(x) = 2x - x² If -6 < x ≤ 1

    a(1) = 2(1) - 1²

           = 2 - 1

           = 1

3). a(x) = |x - 8| If x ≤ -6

   a(-7) = |- 7 - 8|

           = |-15|

           = 15

4). a(x) =  2x - x² If -6 < x ≤ 1

   a(-3) = 2(-3) - (-3)²

           = -6 - 9

           = -15

5). a(x) =  2x - x² If -6 < x ≤ 1

               = - 1 -

               =

6). a(x) = -4x + 7 If x > 1

            = -9 + 7

            = -2

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
