Answer:

first group = 33

second = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let size of second group = x

size of the first group = 3x - 12

x + 3x - 12 = 48

4x - 12 = 48

collect like terms

4x = 48 + 12

4x = 60

x = 15

Substitute for x in the equation for size of the first group

3(15) - 12 = 33

<span>(f o g)(4) = f(g(4))
so
g(4) = </span><span>-2(4) -6 = -14
</span>f(g(4)) = <span>3(-14) -7 = -49

answer
</span><span> (f o g)(4) = -49</span>

I NEED HELP ASAP Find the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 8).
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Use the distance formula: x=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

Plug in ordered pairs for the variables:

x=sqrt((2-2)^2+(8-3)^2)

x=sqrt(0+25)

x=sqrt(25)

x=5 or -5

Since distance is ALWAYS positive, it's 5 units

Hope this helped!
