Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Unfortunately, Katie will be $20 short
She has $40
Plus the $38 x 5 she will be earning which is $190
$190+$40 is $230
Looks like Kate needs one more day of hard work to get her bike ; )
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Begin with substuting the x variable with -2, we do this because the question has listed the value of x already.
Using the value of x, -2 we determine g(x).
g(x) = -2^2 + 2
Above is what the equation would look as, after you input the value of -2.
Using pemdas, (parantheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) solve the equation.
-2^2 = 4
Think of it as -2 * -2, which is why -2^2 is 4.
Add 4 +2.
4 + 2 = 6.
Therefore, the value of g(x) = 6
