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
Exponents

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:
So since, they are the same distance from zero, they should be the oppposite of each other so in other words, k=-h and h=-k
so k+h=(subisute)k-k=-h+h=0 because they cancel

Answer:
35 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we multiply the amount by the percent and add them up to get the total amount times the percent
amount * percent + amount * percent = total amount * percent
4 * .20 + 12 * .40 = (4+12) * x
.8 + 4.8 = 16 x
Combine like terms
5.6 = 16x
Divide by 16
5.6/16 = 16x/16
.35 =x
35 percent
