If f(x) = 2x - 5 and g(x) = x + 52, then f(g(x)) can be deduced by placing g(x) in the spot of x in the f(x) equation as follows:
f(g(x)) = 2(g(x)) - 5
Since we know g(x) = x + 52, let's plug it in:
f(g(x)) = 2(x + 52) - 5
f(g(x)) = 2x + 104 - 5
f(g(x)) = 2x + 99
1. find our slope: y2 - y1/ x2- x 1
-9 + 4= -5
2 - 2 = 0
m = 0
2. now we need to use our point-slope form to find our y intercept
point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 4 = 0(x - 2)
distribute:
y + 4 = 0x
3. get y by itself
y + 4 - 4 = y
0x - 4 = 0x - 4
4. write in slope-intercept form:
y = 0x - 4
OR
y = -4
Natural selection <span>is the process where organisms are more likely to reproduce. When they reproduce, they pass on traits to the next generation. Over time this process allows organisms to adapt to their environment. Giving what natural selection means, I believe the answer is D. Evolution does NOT always improve organisms.
I hope this helps:)</span>
Answer:
The unknown number is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the unknown number x.
The sum of 5 TIMES a number (x) & 8 is 9.
Let's write it mathematically.
5x + 8 =9
We are trying to find the unknown number, so let's remove all the numbers from the left side to find x. Minus 8.
5x=1
5x is basically 5 times x, so to find x, we need to divide and from there we can remove 5.
x=
