Answer:

X + Y + Z = 32

X2 = Y

X3 + 2 = Z

X + X2 + X3 + 2 = 32

Make X alone

There is a 2 so we subtract 2 from both sides

X + X2 + X3 = 30

Add the X's up

X + X2 + X3 = X6

X6 = 30

Divide by 6

30 / 6 = 5

You are left with X=5

The first piece of wood has a length of 5

5 x 2 = 10

The second piece has a value of 10

5 x 3 + 2 = 17

The third piece is 17

Hope this helps. If you have any questions you may ask.

If f(x)=3^x+10x and g(x)=4x-2, find (f+g)(x)
Vikentia [17]
Hi there!

First we need to remember the following.
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Now substitute both of the formulas.
(f + g)(x) = ({3}^{x} + 10x)+ (4x - 2)

Work out the parenthesis.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 10x + 4x - 2

And finally collect terms.
(f + g)(x) = {3}^{x} + 14x - 2

~ Hope this helps you!
