Answer:
1) b= -20
Step-by-step explanation:
You bring the variable you want to find to one side by either bringing over the second term to the other side of the equation and change its sign or if it's a fraction you multiply both sides to remove the denominator and then solve
3 because the 2z minus the 3 gives you 1 rounded
Answer:
I will get the function of g (x) and plug it on X in the function of f ( x ) and then later substitute X with 1

now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
Yes it can actually. If you take 1/2 and 1/2 for example, their product is 1/4.
