Given :
A function f(x) for different range of x.
To Find :
The value of f( -3 ) .
Solution :
We have to find the value of function at x = -3.
Now, in the given figure -3 lies in range x ≤ -2 and definition of function at that range is :

So, putting value of x = -3 in above equation, we get :

Hence, this is the required solution.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The equation is always false
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
             
        
        
        
Expand and simplify
(x-3) (x-3) +2(x-3) -8=0
(x-3+2)(x-3)-8=0
(x-1)(x-3)-8=0
x^2 -4x +3-8=0
x^2 - 4x -5=0
x^2 -5x +x-5=0
x(x-5)+x-5=0
(x+1)(x-5)=0
x= - 1, 5
        
                    
             
        
        
        
5x + 60y = 35
x +y = 1.5 : rewrite as x = 1.5-y   and substitute this formula for x in the first one:
5(1.5-y) + 60y = 35
distribute:
7.5 - 5y + 60y = 35
combine like terms:
7.5 + 55y = 35
subtract 7.5 from both sides:
55y = 27.5
divide both sides by 55 to solve for  y
y = 27.5 / 55 = 0.5
now substiute 0.5 for y in the 2nd equation:
x + 0.5 = 1.5
x = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1
