Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $f(x) = 2x + 5$

$g(x) = x-7$

To Find: solve for f(g(x)) when x = −3

Solution:

$f(x) = 2x + 5$

$g(x) = x-7$

$f(g(x)) = 2(x-7)+ 5=2x-14+5=2x-9$ ---1

Now we are supposed to find f(g(x)) when x = −3

So, substitute x = -3 in 1

$f(g(-3)) =2(-3)-9$

$f(g(-3)) =-6-9$

$f(g(-3)) =-15$

Hence f(g(x)) when x = −3 is -15.

F(g(x))= 2(g(x))+5 = 2(x-7)+5 = 2x-14+5 = 2x-9
when x= -3
f(g(-3))= 2(-3)-9 = -6-9 = -15

The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps for Using Linear Combinations Method)

Arrange the equations with like terms in columns
Analyze the coefficients of x or y
Add the equations and solve for the remaining variable
Substitute the value into either equation and solve

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

- Multiply equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of y are equal in

magnitude and different in sign

∴ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

Add equations (1) and (3)

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

∴ 7 x = -21

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = -3

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

∵ x = -3

∴ -3 + 2 y = -7

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ 2 y = -4

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = -2

The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

. At a clothing store, 12 people purchased blue sweaters, 8 purchased green sweaters, 4 purchased gray sweaters, and 7 purchased

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is $\frac{12}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

$P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}$

The addition rule is used when you want to know the probability that 2 or more events will occur. The addition rule or addition rule states that if we have an event A and an event B, the probability of event A or event B occurring is calculated as follows:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where:

P (A): probability of event A occurring.

P (B): probability that event B occurs.

P (A⋃B): probability that event A or event B occurs.

P (A⋂B): probability of event A and event B occurring at the same time.

Mutually exclusive events are things that cannot happen at the same time. Then P (A⋂B) = 0. So, P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

In this case, being:

P(A)= the probability that they purchased a green sweater
P(B)= the probability that they purchased a gray sweater
Mutually exclusive events

You know:

8 purchased green sweaters
4 purchased gray sweaters
number of possible cases= 12 + 8 + 4+ 7= 21

So:

$P(A)=\frac{8}{31}$

$P(B)=\frac{4}{31}$

P(A⋂B) = 0

Then:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

P(A∪B)= $\frac{8}{31}+ \frac{4}{31}$

P(A∪B)= $\frac{12}{31}$

The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is $\frac{12}{31}$
