<h3>Answer:  16</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Equate s(t(x)) and s(1) to find that t(x) = 1 must be the case.

Let's find what x must be.

t(x) = 3x-8

1 = 3x-8

1+8 = 3x

9 = 3x

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

So plugging x = 3 into t(x) gets us t(x) = 1

In other words, t(3) = 1

So that tells us s(t(3)) = s(1)

-------------

Let's plug x = 3 into the s(t(x)) equation

s(t(x)) = x^2 + 3x - 2

s(t(3)) = (3)^2 + 3(3) - 2

s(1) = 9 + 3(3) - 2

s(1) = 9 + 9 - 2

s(1) = 18 - 2

s(1) = 16

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

US$ 132.45

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing table.

Given:

Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week = $57.34

<u>Richard’s account balance at the end of the week from the given table:</u>

Deposits of the week = US$ 163.75

Expenses of the week = Groceries + Credit card bill + Gas

Expenses of the week = 25.37 + 50 + 13.27

Expenses of the week = US$ 88.64

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = Richard’s checking account balance at the beginning of the week + Deposits of the week - Expenses of the week

Replacing with the real values:

Richard’s account balance at the end of the week = 57.34 + 163.75 - 88.64

                                                                                    =US$ 132.4
