Answer:
442
Step-by-step explanation:
Find g(12) first.
12^2 + 4 = 144 + 4 = 148.
Now find f(148).
(3 x 148) -2 = 444-2 = 442.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
The error carolyn has made is that she hasn't subtracted properly.
2x + 3y - (2x +6y) = 2x - 2x + 3y - 6y = -3y.
Carolyn probably didn't use parentheses...
To do the thing in substitution, we single out x or y in any equation. In this case, i'm gonna single out the x in the 2nd eqn. In other words, i'll make x the subject of the 2nd eqn.
2x + 6y = 10
2x = 10 - 6y
x = 5 - 3y
Now we simply plug in 5 - 3y wherever x apperas in the 1st equation.
2 (5-3y) + 3y = 8
10 - 6y + 3y = 8
10 - 3y = 8
-3y = -2
y = 2/3
Then x = 5 - 3*2/3 = 3
x=3
y=2/3
Hope it helps:)
