First, we would set the number to x.
Then, we turn the words into an equation.
x+75 = 3x-39
Isolate the x.
-2x = -114
So...
x = 57
The Answer is -3/2
Below is how I got that answer
(-12) / 6+2
-12/ 8 (Simplify the problem by adding 6 and 2, remove the parenthesis).
-3/2 (Simplify -12/8 by dividing it by 4)
The number is 18
hope this helps
The numbers inside the parenthesis is the value of x, uses the equation associated with the value of x and solve.
H(1) Since 1 fits 1≤x≤3 use x^3
x^3 1^3 = 1
h(1) = 1
h(4) 4 fits x >3, so use 5
h(4) = 5
