I would assume that you subsitute as usual, but g is negative
(f-g)(x)=(3x+2)-(2x-2)
(f-g)(x)=3x+2-2x+2
(f-g)(x)=x+4

$f(x)=3x+2 \\
g(x)=2x-2 \\ \\
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=3x+2-(2x-2)=3x+2-2x+2=\\
=x+4 \\ \\
\boxed{(f-g)(x)=x+4}$

Latoya's annual salary is $26,000. A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance. She will receive her pay

Anna71 [15]

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets translate this word problem into math.

"Latoya's annual salary is $26,000" = We start with the number 26,000

"A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance" = It's the number we started with "deducted" (minus) 7352.24

"She will receive her paycheck monthly in 12 equal installments" = Our number will be divided by 12

"How much will she get paid with each paycheck?" = "Find answer pls thx"

To put it all together...

$\frac{26,000-7,352.24}{12}$

Now all we have to do is solve!

$\frac{26,000-7,352.24}{12}$

Subtract.

$\frac{18,647.76}{12}$

Divide.

$1,553.98$

Answer:

Latoya will get paid $1,553.98 with each paycheck.

A chemist has a 40% alcohol solution and a 25% alcohol solution. How much of each should he mix together to get 50 liters of a 3

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations...

Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution

Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution

We need 50 liters total, so

x + y = 50

and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so

0.4x = 0.25y = 0.35(50)

Solve the first equation for one variable...

x = 50 - y (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)

Now substitute that value into the second equation...

0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5 (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)

Now solve for y...

20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5

-0.15y = -2.5

y = 16.66666667

y = 16 2/3 L

So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'

x + 16 2/3 = 50

x = 50 - 16 2/3

x = 33 1/3
