Answer: f(12) = 137, f(-7) = 42
Step-by-step explanation: In a function, what you want to do is plug in the value they give you for x. This means you substitute x with the value they are looking for.
In this case, they are looking at 12 and -7. Let's do 12 first.
The equation becomes (12^2) - 7. 12^2 is 144, and 144-7 is 137.
Now we do -7. The equation becomes (-7)^2 - 7. -7^2 is 49, and 49 - 7 is 42.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
-5 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.
a + b = 12
The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.
b - a = 22
(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)
b = 22 + a
(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)
a + (22 + a) = 12
a + a + 22 = 12
2a = -10
a = -5
a + b = 12
-5 + b = 12
b = 17
16, first you need to add on the four he lost to the 18 he ended with.
