Answer:
The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38
212x - 68x - 170 = 38
212x - 68x = 38 + 170
144x = 208
x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444
Proof:
212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38
306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38
306.128 - 268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38
Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
25 - 5x = 80
+ 5x + 5x
25 = 5x + 80
- 80 -80
-55 = 5x
-55/5 = 11
x = 11
Hope I helped!

Answer:
- 10 and 60
Step-by-step explanation:
1
To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x)
f(- 2) = (3 × - 2) - 4 = - 6 - 4 = - 10
2
To evaluate f(8) substitute x = 8 into f(x)
f(8) = 8² - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60
