Answer: D) 3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) - g(x)
f(x) = 1/2x - 3
g(x) = -5/2x + 2
Using the values of f(x) and g(x) gives us the equation:
1/2x - 3 - (-5/2x +2)
By distributing the negative sign, the signs on 5/2 and 2 are flipped, making them positive and negative respectively.
Our new equation is:
1/2x -3 + 5/2x -2
Adding up like numbers gives us:
6/2x - 5
Simplifying 6/2x => 3x
So our final equation is:
3x - 5
Hope this helps!
5(2x-3)+7
distribute the 5 to the 2x and -3
10x-15+ 7
combine like terms -15+7
10x-8
The value of the expression is 12
