Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin with substuting the x variable with -2, we do this because the question has listed the value of x already.
Using the value of x, -2 we determine g(x).
g(x) = -2^2 + 2
Above is what the equation would look as, after you input the value of -2.
Using pemdas, (parantheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) solve the equation.
-2^2 = 4
Think of it as -2 * -2, which is why -2^2 is 4.
Add 4 +2.
4 + 2 = 6.
Therefore, the value of g(x) = 6

Let x be the Jill comic books.
Given:
Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.
Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.
--------(1)
Now we solve above equation for x.
Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.
Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.
Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
