Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
C.
D.
Method One
You could divide by 5 right away.
20/5 = - 3 + x
4 = - 3 + x Add 3 to both sides.
4 + 3 = x
x = 7
Method Two.
You could remove the brackets. This is slightly longer, but some questions can only be solved that way.
20 = 5(-3) + 5x
20 = -15 + 5x Add 15 to both sides
20 + 15 = 5x
35 = 5x Divide by 5
35/5 = x
7 = x
Answer:
yesssssssssssssss do itttttttt
(f g)(x) means f(x) * g(x), so plug the value of each function in:
(x+2)(x-4)
And solve by distributing using FOIL:
Firsts: x * x = x²
Outers: x * -4 = -4x
Inners: 2 * x = 2x
Lasts: 2 * -4 = -8
Combine them all together:
x² - 4x + 2x - 8
Combine like terms (the -4x and 2x):
x² - 2x - 8
So the second to last one is correct.
