Answer 1

Hi, i'm Molly here to help you with your math problem.

Answer:

Your answer would be A because as I did the equation this answer was the most likely. The steps are attached. Unfortunately brainly is even complicated than the old one so Ill have to sadly paste it here. :)

I just did it in an equation form if that is fine with you!

g(x) = 4x - 5

        g(2) = (4 * 2) - 5

       = 8 -5  

       = 3

         g(-4) = (4 * -4) - 5

        = - 16 - 5

        = - 21

Heres a key that may help you while evaluating the equation I made for you:
