Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = -4x – 7 \\ plug \: x = - 1 \\ f( - 1) = - 4( - 1) - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 \\g(x) = x² + 7x – 2 \\g(f( - 1)) = {( - 3)}^{2} + 7( - 3) - 2 \\ = 9 - 21 - 2 \\= - 14$

Answer two questions about Equations AAA and BBB: \begin{aligned} A.&&\dfrac x4+1&=-3 \\\\ B.&&x+4&=-12

luda_lava [24]

The given equations are as follows

$\begin{aligned} A.&&\dfrac x4+1&=-3 \\\\ B.&&x+4&=-12 \end{aligned}$

(1) First, multiply both sides of equation A by 4, we have

$4\times\left(\frac{x}{4} +1\right)=4\times(-3)$

Then, rewrite the left-hand side of the above equation by using the distributive property, we have

$4\times\frac{x}{4}+4\times1=4(-3)$

$\Rightarrow x+4=-12$

This is the required equation B.

In this way, first use choice D: Multiply both sides by the same non-zero constant, i.e 4.

Then, apply choice A to solve the equation, i.e using the distributive property to solve the left-hand side of the equation.

(2) In the previous answer, equation B has been derived from equation A, hence, both the equations are equivalent.

As both the equations are the same, so both will have the same solution.

Yes, they have the same solution.

You drive 70 miles per hour but then slow your speed by 15 miles per hour. You then return to your speed of 70 miles per hour. W

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Driving 70 miles per hour.
Slow your speed means decrease in speed= 70+(-15)=70-15=55 miles/ hr
And then return to speed of 70 miles/hr means add 15 miles to the speed.
We get
70+(-15)+15 =70 miles / hr

Option D is correct.
