If f(x) = 8 – 10x and g(x) = 5x + 4, what is the value of (fg)(–2)?
1 answer:
F(x) = 8 - 10x
g(x) = 5x + 4
Finding (fg)(-2).
First let us find fg(x), this is the same as f(g(x))
f(g(x))
f(5x + 4)
Recall, f(x) = 8 - 10x, therefore f(5x + 4) would be such that anywhere we see x in the f(x), we replace it with 5x + 4
f(x) = 8 - 10x
f(5x +4) = 8 - 10(5x + 4)
= 8 - 50x - 40
= -50x + 8 - 40
= -50x - 32
f(g(x)) = fg(x) = -50x - 32
fg(-2) = -50*(-2) - 32 = 100 - 32 = 68
Therefore fg(-2) = 68

Answer:
22 and 46
Step-by-step explanation:
let
one number is x
another is 2x+2
now 2x+2+x=68
or, 3x+2=68
3x=66
or x=66/3=22
so one number is 22 and another is (22X2+2)=46
