2x-56. This is the answer because since you don't know what the number is it is gonna be x and twice a number would be 2x. The 56 is subtracted from the 2x because decreased means subtraction.

Answer: 473.4

Step-by-step explanation: if you can't solve it, break the first number apart, multiply both numbers, then add them together. That way there not such big numbers :)

Answer: (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-3}\\\\g(x)=\sqrt{x+5}$

Here, $\sqrt{x+5}\ \text{is always greater than equal to 0}\\\Rightarrow x+5\geq 0\\\Rightarrow x\geq -5\quad \ldots(i)$

To get $f\left(g(x)\right)$ , replace $x$ in $f(x)$ by $g(x)\ \text{i.e. by}\ \sqrt{x+5}$

$\Rightarrow f\left(g(x)\right)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}-3}\\\\\text{Denominator must not be equal to 0}\\\\\therefore \sqrt{x+5}-3\neq0\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x+5}\neq 3\\\Rightarrow x+5\neq 9\\\Rightarrow x\neq 4\quad \ldots(ii)$

Using $(i)$ and $(ii)$ it can be concluded that the domain of $f\left(g(x)\right)$ is all real numbers except 0.

Therefore, its domain is given by

$x\in [-5,4)\cup (4,\infty)$

Option (c) is correct.

1- Solution using graphs:
Take a look at the attached images.
The red graph represents the first given function while the blue graph represents the second given function.
We can note that the two graphs are the same line (they overlap).
This means that any chosen point on one of them will satisfy the other.
This means that there are infinite number of solutions to these two equations.

2- Solution using substitution:
The first given equation is:
y = -5x + 3 ...........> equation I
The second given equation is:
2y + 10x = 6 ...........> equation II

Substitute with I in II and solve as follows:
2(-5x+3) + 10x = 6
-10x + 6 + 10x = 6
0 = 0
This means that there are infinitely many solutions to the given system of equations.

Hope this helps :)
