so we know that each m&m weighs about 2g.
the next line says to write a direct variation equation.
(definition: mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other)
we then make the equation ( w=xm), then we use that equation to figure out the next line, which is to find the amount of m&ms that would fit in a bag of 1000.
(my head cant really process part a cause of a recent headache, so sorry if its wrong)
the answer to part b would be 500, which you can provide evidence based off of your part a equation.
Normally I'd love to help, but put in a picture. I'm confused.
To find both f(8) and f(-5), we will need to plug in their values for x and solve for each. Then, we can subtract them to find the final answer.
Finding f(8):
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
Finding f(-5):
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
Subtracting f(8) and f(-5):
f(8) - f(-5)
22 - - 17
22 + 17
39
