Answer:
B. 10
C. All real numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 (2x-4) = 8(x + 2)
Distribute the numbers outside of the factors:
12x - 24 = 8x + 16
Subtract both sides by '8x'
12x - 8x - 24 = 8x - 8x + 16
4x - 24 = 16
Add '24' to both sides:
4x = 40
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 10. Therefore, <u>B. 10</u> is the correct answer.
3(4p - 2) = -6(1 - 2p)
Distribute the numbers similarly to the example before:
12p - 6 = -6 + 12p
Subtract '12p' from both sides:
12p - 12p -6 = -6 + 12p - 12p
0 -6 = -6
Add '6' to both sides:
0 - 6 + 6 = -6 + 6
0 = 0
Therefore, the solution consists of <u>all real numbers.</u>
60%
Solve by creating a proportion
27/45 = x/100
Cross multiply to get 2700=45x
Divide 45 on both sides to get x=60
Answer:
There was a 25% increase.

Answer: g(f(2)) = 11</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
g(f(2)) is substituting the value of f(2) for x in g(x). But we must first find f(2).
We know that f (x) = ax² - 12
Since f(3) = 24
⇒ a(3²) - 12 = 24
9 a = 36
a = 4
∴ f(2) = (4)(2²) - 12
= 4
⇒ g(f(2)) = 2(4) + 3
= 11
