The value of x that will make the statement true is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

f(x) = x - 4
g(x) = 2x + 3

We need to find the value of x which makes [f(x) + 2g(x)] = 7

∵ f(x) = x - 4

∵ g(x) = 2x + 3

∵ f(x) + 2g(x) = 7

- Multiply g(x) by 2

∵ 2g(x) = 2(2x + 3) = 2(2x) + 2(3) = 4x + 6

∴ 2g(x) = 4x + 6

∵ f(x) + 2g(x) = 7

∴ (x - 4) + (4x + 6) = 7

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ (x + 4x) + (-4 + 6) = 7

∴ 5x + 2 = 7

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ 5x = 5

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 1

The value of x that will make the statement true is 1

Fx) = -3x² + 2x - 7, then f(-1) =

Fantom [35]

Given:

The function is

$f(x)=-3x^2+2x-7$

To find:

The value of f(-1).

Solution:

We have,

$f(x)=-3x^2+2x-7$

Putting x=-1, we get

$f(-1)=-3(-1)^2+2(-1)-7$

$f(-1)=-3(1)-2-7$

$f(-1)=-3-9$

$f(-1)=-12$

Therefore, the value of f(-1) is -12.
