<h3>Answer:  19</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

Start with the inner function. Plug in x = 5

g(x) = x-2

g(5) = 5-2 ... Replace every x with 5

g(5) = 3

This means f(g(5)) = f(3) since we can replace g(5) with 3

Now plug x = 3 into the f(x) function

f(x) = 3x+10

f(3) = 3(3) + 10

f(3) = 19

Therefore, f(g(5)) = 19

--------------------------

An alternate route is shown below

f(x) = 3x + 10

f(x) = 3(x) + 10

f(g(x)) = 3(g(x)) + 10 ... replace every x with g(x)

f(g(x)) = 3(x-2) + 10 ... replace g(x) on the right side with x-2

f(g(x)) = 3x-6+10  ... distribute

f(g(x)) = 3x+4

f(g(5)) = 3(5)+4 .... plug in x = 5

f(g(5)) = 19 .... we get the same answer

What is (x − 3)(x − 5) = 35
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

x=10  x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − 3)(x − 5) = 35

FOIL

x^2 -5x-3x+15 = 35

Combine like terms

x^2 -8x+15 = 35

Subtract 35 from each side

x^2 -8x+15-35 = 35-35

x^2 -8x-20 =0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -8

-10*2 = -20

-10 +2 = -8

(x-10)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

x-10 =0  x+2 = 0

x=10  x=-2
