If f(x) = 2x - 5 and g(x) = x + 52, then f(g(x)) can be deduced by placing g(x) in the spot of x in the f(x) equation as follows:
f(g(x)) = 2(g(x)) - 5
Since we know g(x) = x + 52, let's plug it in:
f(g(x)) = 2(x + 52) - 5
f(g(x)) = 2x + 104 - 5
f(g(x)) = 2x + 99
You can set up an expression where p = the pounds of bananas.
With that information, 2p =$1.89
To figure out the cost per pound, you want the cost of 1 p. Therefore, you divide both sides by 2.
p = $1.89/2
p = $0.945
(since it is money you normally round to two decimal places so you would say $0.95 or 95 cents)

Answer:
In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.
In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)
6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property
6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property
In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.
In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.
