F(x) = 8 - 10x
g(x) = 5x + 4
Finding (fg)(-2).
First let us find fg(x), this is the same as f(g(x))
f(g(x))
f(5x + 4)
Recall, f(x) = 8 - 10x, therefore f(5x + 4) would be such that anywhere we see x in the f(x), we replace it with 5x + 4
f(x) = 8 - 10x
f(5x +4) = 8 - 10(5x + 4)
= 8 - 50x - 40
= -50x + 8 - 40
= -50x - 32
f(g(x)) = fg(x) = -50x - 32
fg(-2) = -50*(-2) - 32 = 100 - 32 = 68
Therefore fg(-2) = 68

Answer:
4 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations:
x+y=9
x-y=-1
x=9-y
9-y-y=-1
9-2y=-1
-2y=-10
y=5
Since y=5, x must be 4 since 4+5=9 and 4-5=-1
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The left side would be (3x - 12)
The right side would be (-4x+2)
In an equation, 3x - 12 = -4x+2
Combine all the letters on the left and plain numbers on the right,
3x + 4x = 12 + 2
Note: When you transfer to the other side of the equal sign, the number will change its sign.
Simplify the 3x + 4x = 12 + 2,
7x = 14

x = 2
