The answer is a. -7
1. Find g(2).
2. Find f(g(2)).
g(x) = x² - 6x - 7
x = 2 ⇒ g(2) = ?
g(2) = 2² - 6·2 - 7 = 4 - 12 - 7 = -15
2. f(x) = x + 8
g(2) = -15
f(g(2)) = f(-15) = -15 + 8 = -7
I think it's a 1/16 chance
Answer:
1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3
3(x+2)+x
3x +6+x
2)put the answer you got into the question you were given
3x + 6+x =2x +16
3)group the x variables and the non x variables
3x +x -2x =16 -6
4) Now work the equation you have
3x+x-2x=16-6
4x-2x=16-6
2x=16-6
2x=10
5) you divide both sides by the x variable
2x=10
2x/2 =10/2
x=5
therefore x is 5
