4•(-24)-3 You don't need any parenthesis because it's order of operations
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Company A's equation is 900+0.50x5,000
Company B's equation is 1,500+0.38x5,000
Both equal 3,400 and have to be multiplied by 5,000
To find both f(8) and f(-5), we will need to plug in their values for x and solve for each. Then, we can subtract them to find the final answer.
Finding f(8):
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
Finding f(-5):
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
Subtracting f(8) and f(-5):
f(8) - f(-5)
22 - - 17
22 + 17
39
Hope this helps!! :)
