Answer:
if f(x)= -4x+3
f(-5)= 23
Step-by-step explanation:
first you substitute x for -5
f(-5)= -4(-5)+3
then you multiply
-4(-5)
f(-5)=20+3
you get the positive 20 because negative times negative equals positive
then you just add the rest (20+3) which will give you your answer
f(-5)= 23
They are not, because inverse means multiply by -1, therefore, there should be a positive sign in front of 2 and a negative in front of x for G(x) = x - 2
Hey there!
Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).
To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.
15 / 3 = 5
This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.
x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.
x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20
x = 20
Mary's age is 20.
I hope this helps!
