X will be the speed of species b and 4x will be the speed of species a:
x + 4x = 180
5x = 180
x = 180 / 5
x = 36 m/h
If species b has a speed of 36 m/h, the speed of species a is 4 times that:
4 x 36 = 144 m/h.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
