Answer:
315
Step-by-step explanation:
X-1/2=15 1/4
15 1/4 = 15*4 + 1 = 61/4
61/4
x - 1/2 = 61/4
+1/2 +1/2
61/4 + 2/4 = 63/4
x = 63/4
The correct answer is 10.
In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(3) = 2(3) + 1
f(3) = 6 + 1
f(3) = 7
Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).
g(x) = (3x - 1)/2
g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2
g(7) = (21 - 1)/2
g(7) = 20/2
g(f(3)) = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations for eq 1 which is 3x + y = 118 represents the Green High School which filled three buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and a van(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 118 students.
for eq 2; 4x + 2y = 164; represents Belle High School which filled four buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and two vans(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 164 students.
The solution represents the specific number of students in the buses and vans in eq1 and eq 2 with x being 36 students and y being 10 students.
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq 1;
3(36) + 10 = 108 + 10 = 118 total students for Green High School
substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq2;
4(36) + 2(10) = 144 + 20 = 164 total students for Belle High school
