Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Use FOIL method: (a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd.

2) Collect like terms.

3) Simplify.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2) let the two numbers be x and y
x-y =15
(taking x to be big)
x = 3 (y)+1
i.e. x-3y =1
Subtracting we get
2y =14 or y =7
x =15+7 =22
Larger number is 22 and smaller number is 7

Alysha is 2 years younger than Bryce/
Let Alysha be x years old then Bryce would be x+2
Sum of their ages
=x+x+2 =28
2x+2 =28
2x=26
x=13
Hence Alysha is 13 years old and Bryce 14 years old.
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.
And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)
So, if f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].
Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).
Answer: [ f o g] (x)
This would be easier for you if you put it in a graph
