Answer:

Numbers are 6 and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers are 'a' and 'b'.

"Sum of these numbers = 23"

a + b = 23 --------(1)

"One number is 7 less than 4 times the other"

a = 4b - 7 ---------(2)

Substitute the value of 'a' in equation (1) from equation (2)

(4b - 7) + b = 23

5b - 7 = 23

5b = 23 + 7

5b = 30

b = 6

From equation (2),

a = 4b - 7

a = 4×6 - 7

a = 24 - 7

a = 17

Therefore, the numbers are 6 and 17.

Answer:

opt 4

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=0, 0+3y= -3, so y=-1 (0,-1) is solution

when x=3 , 21+3y=-3, 3y= -3-21= -24

y= -8 (3,-8) is also solution

Does anyone know how to do these maths question???

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Part 1) $f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2$

Part 2) $g(f(5))=289$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A composite function is a function that depends on another function. A composite function is created when one function is substituted into another function

we have

$f(x)=3x+2$

$g(x)=x^{2}$

Part 1) Determine f(g(x))

To find f(g(x)) substitute the function g(x) as the variable in function f(x)

$f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2$

Part 2) Determine g(f(x))

To find g(f(x)) substitute the function f(x) as the variable in function g(x)

$g(f(x))=(3x+2)^2$

For x=5

$g(f(5))=(3(5)+2)^2$

$g(f(5))=289$
