Answer:
![\[3x+\frac{2}{3}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B3x%2B%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
![\[f(x)=x-\frac{1}{3}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bf%28x%29%3Dx-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5D)
![\[g(x)=3x+1\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bg%28x%29%3D3x%2B1%5C%5D)
Hence, ![\[(f o g)(x)=f(3x+1)\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%28f%20o%20g%29%28x%29%3Df%283x%2B1%29%5C%5D)
But, ![\[f(3x+1)=(3x+1)-\frac{1}{3}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bf%283x%2B1%29%3D%283x%2B1%29-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5D)
Simplifying,
![\[f(3x+1)=3x+(1-\frac{1}{3})\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bf%283x%2B1%29%3D3x%2B%281-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%29%5C%5D)
= ![\[f(3x+1)=3x+(\frac{3-1}{3})\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bf%283x%2B1%29%3D3x%2B%28%5Cfrac%7B3-1%7D%7B3%7D%29%5C%5D)
= ![\[f(3x+1)=3x+(\frac{2}{3})\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bf%283x%2B1%29%3D3x%2B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%29%5C%5D)
Hence, ![\[(f o g)(x)=3x+(\frac{2}{3})\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%28f%20o%20g%29%28x%29%3D3x%2B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%29%5C%5D)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
(66 2/3)
---------- (x) = 8
100
Solve for x
(66 2/3)x = 800
x = 800/(66 2/3)
x = 800/(200/3)
x = 800(3/200)
x = 4(3)
x = 12
