Answer: the total number of coupon books sold is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coupon books that Mario sold.

Let y represent the number of coupon books that Luigi sold.

Apparently, Mario is a much better salesperson, because he sold 4 times as many coupon books as Luigi. This is expressed as

x = 4y

If Luigi sold 12 fewer coupon books than Mario, the expression would be

x = y + 12 - - - - - - - - - - -- -1

Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes

4y = y + 12

4y - y = 12

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

x = 4y = 4 × 4

x = 16

The total number of coupon books that the two boys sold is

4 + 16 = 20

G(b) = 5b- 9 h(b) = (b - 1)^2 Evaluate. (hog)(-6) =
laiz [17]

Given:

The two functions are:

g(b)=5b-9

h(b)=(b-1)^2

To find:

The value of (h\circ g)(-6).

Solution:

We have,

g(b)=5b-9

h(b)=(b-1)^2

We know that,

(h\circ g)(b)=h(g(b))

(h\circ g)(b)=h(5b-9)

(h\circ g)(b)=[(5b-9)-1]^2

(h\circ g)(b)=[5b-10]^2

Putting b=-6, we get

(h\circ g)(-6)=[5(-6)-10]^2

(h\circ g)(-6)=[-39-10]^2

(h\circ g)(-6)=[-49]^2

(h\circ g)(-6)=2401

Therefore, the value of (h\circ g)(-6) is 2401.
