Answer:
f(- 4) = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(- 4) substitute x = - 4 into f(x) , that is
f(- 4) = - 8 - 5(- 4) = - 8 + 20 = 12
It seems to me, that if you were to add the price of all three items together, then multiply by 7.5%, you'd have the answer. Remember that 7.5% = .075 ... in other words, that is the number you would multiply the sum of the items by. Does that help?
Attention:THIS IS PART B <em>ONLY!</em>
First,find the unit rate.
35/2 and <em>x</em>/1
35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.
now,R.L.
45/3 and <em>x</em>/1
45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour
now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first
355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.
355 divided by 15 = about 24 hrs-----R.L.
So,who read faster?
