Answer:
Ok:
Step-by-step explanation:
So f°g . means f(g(x)). (The ° should be more center and bigger but I don't know to do that on a keyboard). f(g(x)) means that you replace the x in f(x) with the g(x) function. i.e:
if f(x) = 2x+2
and g(x) = 
f(g(x)) = 
.
Similarly, in this case, we get f(x) = 2x-3 and g(x) = 3x-2.
Then, f(g(x)) or f°g(x) is 2(3x-2) - 3.
And we plug in -2 to solve:
2(3(-2)-2)-3.
and get -19.
Check if I am wrong because everyone makes mistakes but that is the way to solve this.
Answer:
width of the rectangle=x=4in and length of the rectangle=11in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be x, then according to the question, length is one less than three times its width that is l=3x-1.
Now, width=b=x and length=l=3x-1, thus
Perimeter of the rectangle= 2(l+b)
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Thus, width of the rectangle=x=4in and length of the rectangle=l=3x-1=3(4)-1=12-1=11in.
The answer should be n=-8
Answer: 30.5 and 35.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.
x=y+5
x+y=66
Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
