The notation just means
(f/g)(-4) = f(-4) / g(-4)
If f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = 1 - 3x, then
f(-4) = (-4)² + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
g(-4) = 1 - 3 (-4) = 1 + 12 = 13
and so
(f/g)(-4) = 18/13
10+2(x)=5(x-7)
10+2(x)=5(x)-35
35+10=5(x)-2(x)
45=3(x)
45/3=x
x=15
"Linear function" means the highest degree of any term is 1.
Equation 1: degree is 2
Equation 2: degree is 2
Equation 3: degree is 1 . . . . this is your linear function
Equation 4: degree is 4
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span><span><span><span><span>65+6x</span>+3x</span>+9</span>+65</span>=180
</span>
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span><span><span><span><span>65+6x</span>+3x</span>+9</span>+65</span>=180
</span><span><span><span>(<span>6x+3x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span>65+9+65</span>)</span></span>=180 </span>(Combine Like Terms)
<span><span><span>
9x</span>+139</span>=180</span><span><span>9x+139</span>=180
</span>
Step 2: Subtract 139 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>
9x</span>+139</span>−139</span>=180−139</span><span>9x=41
</span>
Step 3: Divide both sides by 9.
<span><span>9x/9</span>=<span>41/9
</span></span><span> x=<span>41/9
And finally you divided by 41/9
Answer is x= 4.555556
