You can treat x and 2x+1 just as though they are real numbers.
So f(2x+1) = 3(2x+1) - 5 = 6x + 3 - 5 = 6x - 2
In the above, I made use of something called the distributive law which says that if a,b and c are real numbers, then a(b+c) = ab + ac.
The answer is an Interval.
Hope this help.
Answer:
4a^2 + 12ab + 9b^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the identity (a + b)(a + b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 :
So
(2a + 3b)(2a + 3b)
= (2a)^2 + 2*(2a)(3b) + (3b)^2
= 4a^2 + 12ab + 9b^2.
(17-7)*2=weekly allowance
so her weekly allowance is 20
