Put the values of x to the equations of the functions:
1. f(9) → x = 9; f(x) = -3x + 10
f(9) = -3(9) + 10 = -27 + 10 = -17
2. f(-2) → x = -2; f(x) = 4x - 1
f(-2) = 4(-2) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9
3. f(-5) → x = -5; f(x) = -2x + 8
f(-5) = -2(-5) + 8 = 10 + 8 = 18
So,
The standard form is:
y = mx + b
First, we find "m," the slope. Subtract the y-coordinates from each other. Do likewise with the x-coordinates.
2 - -3 = 5
2 - 0 = 2
Slope = 5/2

Now, we can substitute the second solution into this equation for x and y and solve for "b."


Now we have our complete equation.
(3*15)+(17*15)=45+255=300
the final answer is 300
or 20 fifteens
If you pay attention 2 goes into 8, 10, & 12 and it looks like they all have one C. So what do you think it is lol?(:
