Answer: (3) f(8) = g(8)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's compare the values of f(x) and g(x) when x = 0, 2, 8, and 4
<u> f(x) </u> <u> g(x) </u> <u>Comparison</u>
f(x) = 2x - 3
f(0) = 2(0) - 3
= -3 = 1 f(0) < g(0)
f(2) = 2(2) - 3
= 1 = 4 f(2) < g(2)
f(8) = 2(8) - 3
= 13 = 13 f(8) = g(8)
f(4) = 2(4) - 3
= 5 = 7 f(4) < g(4)
The only statement provided that is true is f(8) = g(8)
The algebraic expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given the statement:
Three sets of a sum of a number and four are added to the sum of seven times the same number and thirteen
Let us first understand the given statement,
Let the number be "x"
" sum of a number and four" means x + 4
"Three sets of a sum of a number and four" translated to 3(x + 4)
"sum of seven times the same number and thirteen" means 7x + 13
<em><u>Thus the algebraic expression for given statement is:</u></em>
<em><u>Using distributive property in above expression</u></em>
Therefore,
<em><u>Combine the like terms</u></em>
Thus the required expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)
