First, find the value of the expression within the parentheses, which is 8x. Since x=1/4, 8x=8/4 or 2. Next, multiply this value by -3. -3*2=-6
Answer:
g(3a – 6) = a - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 1/3x - 2
g(3a – 6) = 1/3(3a – 6) - 2
= a - 2 - 2
= a - 4
The car goes 23.2 miles every gallon, so with 15 gallons (15 * 23.2 = 348) it can go 348 miles. With the extra .25 that the car has, it can go 0.25 * 23.2 = 5.8 miles. 348 miles plus the 5.8 miles gets you 353.8 miles on 15.25 gallons.
Answer:
y = -1/3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run to find the slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-7 + 3) / (6 + 6)
-4 / 12
= -1/3
Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:
y = mx + b
-3 = -1/3(-6) + b
-3 = 2 + b
-5 = b
Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b
y = -1/3x - 5 is the equation of the line
