17 = 3(4x - 5)

Distributive property.

17 = 12x - 15

Add 15 to both sides.

32 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12.

x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)

If f(x) = 2x-4 and g(x) = x2 - 4x, find g(-4) And the (x2 - 4x) the 2 is a exponent

Luden [163]

Evaluate the given function in x=-4.

This is, replace the x in the function for -4 and find the value of g(-4).

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=x^2-4x \\ g(-4)=(-4)^2-4(-4) \\ g(-4)=16+16 \\ g(-4)=32 \end{gathered}$

The value of g(-4) is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-14

x=x

y=x+20

x+(x+20)=-14

2x+20=-14

2x=-14-20

2x=-34

x=-34/2

x=-17

y=-17+20

y=3
