Answer:
f(4) = -11
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 4 for x: Note that x = 4.
f(x) = -2x - 3
f(4) = -2(4) - 3
Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve the multiplication, then subtract:
f(4) = (-2 * 4) - 3
f(4) = (-8) - 3
f(4) = -11
f(4) = -11 is your answer.

Answer:
b=3
Step-by-step explanation:
If b is inversely proportional to c then

b is 5 when c is 12, means...

From where we obtain the value of k, the constant needed, which is equals to 5*12=60
Now... to find b when c=20, is just a matter of using our known variables.
