first you convert to slope intercept form
3x+y = 5 is the same as y = -3x+5
x - 4y = 32 is the same as y = 4x-8
then you graph
(starting with the y-intercepts as your first points)
the point where the two lines intercept is your solution.
Answer:
1200 feet of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
2 feet per doll
600 dolls
600 dolls x 2 feet per doll
1200 feet of ribbon for 600 dolls
We are given the function:
g(n) =

We need to find what g(-3) equals.
What the question is asking is what is the resulting value after you plug in -3 as n to the function. Meaning you replace the n that is in the function with -3.
g(-3) =

Remember back to the order of operations.
Parenthesis

Subtraction
For this problem we can keep the fraction as it is (unless you are permitted to use a calculator... if that is the case then just plug all that into a calculator) and keep going to the exponent.
Negative exponents make fractions FLIP. So our fraction will look like this:

Now that we have it without the negative exponent we need to distribute the cubed power to each number in the fraction (which is essentially the same as saying this:

)

We ARE NOT done! We still have this left:
g(-3) =

Multiplying by 3 you get the following:

So what does g(-3) equal? This right here:
