The answer is 5 5/6 simplified to the max.

rewrite the equation with separated parts

-3 1/2 - 2 1/3

-3 - 2 = -5

-1/2 - 1/3? u need to find the LEAST common denominator

-3/6 - 2/6 = -5/6

how did I get 6?

Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/2, 1/3

For the denominators (2, 3) the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.

Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.

Now lastly combine them total and its -5 - 5/6 = -5 5/6.

T= total cost
n= number of days

Total cost equals the cost per day times the number of days plus the fee.

T= $39n + $65
substitute 5 for n
T= 39(5) + 65
T= 195 + 65
T= $260 total cost

Hope this helps! :)

The function f(x) is graphed on the coordinate plane.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

f(-4) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Fro the graph attached,

We have to calculate the value of the function at x = -4.

As we can find from the graph at the input value x = -4, output value of the function is f(-4) = 4

Therefore, f(-4) = 4 will be the answer.
