Answer: f(2) = -4
Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function f(x) = -3x + 2 and we are asked to find f(2).
In other words, if we put an <em>x</em> into our function, we get a -3x + 2 out so what happens when we put a 2 into the function?
Well if we put a 2 into the function,
that's f(2) and we get -3(2) + 2 out.
Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.
-3(2) is -6 so we have -6 + 2 which is -4.
So f(2) is -4.
11 tons, 1,900 lbs. (or you could say 23,900 lbs, it's the same)
1 ton equals 2000 lbs.
15 tons 100 lbs = 30,100 lbs
3 tons 200 lbs = 6,200 lbs.
30,100 - 6,200 = 23,900

Answer: 16 miles</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
x = time in hours spent going upstream
5-x = remaining time in hours spent going downstream
Those two quantities add to 5 hours total.
Let's find the expression for how far the fisherman went upstream
distance = rate*time
d = r*t
d = 2x
Do the same for the downstream portion
d = r*t
d = 8(5-x)
d = 40-8x
The values of d refer to the same distance because he came back to the starting point.
Set those right hand sides equal to one another and solve for x.
2x = 40-8x
2x+8x = 40
10x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4
5-x = 5-4 = 1
He spent 4 hours going upstream, and the remaining 1 hour coming back downstream.
--------------
If he spent 4 hours going upstream at 2 mph, then he traveled d = r*t = 2*4 = 8 miles.
The remaining 1 hour going downstream at 8 mph means he traveled d = r*t = 8*1 = 8 miles, which matches with the previous result. This confirms we have the correct one-way distance of 8 miles.
Therefore, the total round trip distance is 2*8 = 16 miles
