<u>Composite Function</u>
Given f(x) and g(x) as real functions, the composite function 
is defined as:
It can be found by substituting g into f.
We are given the functions:
f(x) = -x + 3
g(x) = -x -1

Answer:
8(2x + 5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
You cant fact (take out) 8 from both 16 and 40 since 8 is a factor for both.
Answer:
<em>h </em>= $1.50
<em>d</em> = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
$1.50 + $1.50 = $3 + $1.25 = $4.25
$1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 = $4.50 + $1.25 + $1.25 = $7
