<h3>Answer: 12</h3>

===================================

Explanation:

First lets compute the value of g(1.5)

Plug x = 1.5 into the g(x) function

g(x) = 8 - 3x

g(1.5) = 8 - 3*1.5  <<--- note how every x is replaced with 1.5

g(1.5) = 8 - 4.5

g(1.5) = 3.5

We ultimately want the value of h(g(1.5)), but that is the same as h(3.5) because we found g(1.5) = 3.5; effectively, g(1.5) and 3.5 are the same value.

Let's compute h(3.5) by plugging in x = 3.5 into the h(x) function.

h(x) = 2x + 5

h(3.5) = 2(3.5) + 5

h(3.5) = 7+5

h(3.5) = 12

h(g(1.5)) = 12 which is the final answer

----------------

An alternative track is to first figure out what h(g(x)) would be in general, by first doing this

h(x) = 2x + 5

h(g(x)) = 2*( g(x) ) + 5  <<---- every x replaced with g(x)

h(g(x)) = 2*( 8-3x ) + 5 <<---- the g(x) replaced with 8-3x

h(g(x)) = 16 - 6x + 5

h(g(x)) = -6x + 21

From here, we plug in x = 1.5

h(g(x)) = -6x + 21

h(g(1.5)) = -6*1.5 + 21

h(g(1.5)) = -9 + 21

h(g(1.5)) = 12 which is the same answer as before

Elis [28]

Answer:

The Sun's gravity pulls the planets in orbit around it, and some planets pull moons in orbit around them. Even spacecraft are in motion through the solar system, either in orbit around the Earth or Moon, or traveling to further worlds, because of gravitational forces.

If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, the smallest angle of the parallelogram is.
Harrizon [31]

If an angle of a parallelogram is two-third of its adjacent angle, then the smallest angle of the parallelogram is 72°. Adjacent angles exhibit a common side and a corner point.

Adjacent angles exhibit a common side and a corner point, although they do not overlap.

A parallelogram can be defined as a simple type of quadrilateral having two pairs of parallel sides.

A rectangle can in turn be defined as a parallelogram having four right angles (90°), thereby all rectangles represent quadrilaterals.

The sum of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is equal to 180°.

In this case, we have  that the sum of adjacent angles >> X + 2/3 X = 180° >> X = 108° >> 2/3 X = 72°
