I find it easier if you draw out people(not perfectly just make a circle or something) and then circle every 2 people to count for the men. There are 16 men in the gym.
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!! :)
Collect like terms:
(7x+4x)−2y
Simplify:
11x-2y
The answer is 2c - 72.
First complete the brackets.
46+26=72
Then subtract 4c from 2c.
4c-2c=2c
Let the number = x
x/2 + 12 = 46
x/2 = 46 - 12
x/2 = 34
x = 34 * 2
x = 68
So, your final answer is 68
Hope this helps!
