To find both f(8) and f(-5), we will need to plug in their values for x and solve for each. Then, we can subtract them to find the final answer.
Finding f(8):
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
Finding f(-5):
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
Subtracting f(8) and f(-5):
f(8) - f(-5)
22 - - 17
22 + 17
39

First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third integer = x + 4
Since four times the first integer equals six more than the product of two and the third integer.
4x = 6 + 2(x + 4)
4x = 6 + 2x + 8
2x = 14
x = 7.
Hence,
First integer = x = 7
Second integer = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Third integer = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11.
hope this helps
Answer:
4*4*4 = 4³
Step-by-step explanation:
Claire has 4 stamps.
Julia has 4 times as many as Claire or 4*4 = 4².
Damon has 4 times as many as Julia or 4*4*4 = 4³
