to shift the graph of an equation some numbers of units to the ___, you add that number to each graph

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = f(x), then
y = f(x ± a) is a horizontal translation of a units
• If f(x + a) then shift of a units left ←
• If f(x - a) then shift of a units right →
When you transform a function by writing
[tex]f(x)\mapsto f(x+h)[/tex]
You're translating the function horizontally, h units to to the left if h is positive, and h units to the right if h is negative.
So, for example, given the "standard" parabola [tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]
We have that the child function [tex]f(x+3) = (x+3)^2[/tex] has the same shape, but it's translated 3 units to the left.
