Answer: C) 3</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
f(x) is the outer function, so the final output -8 corresponds to f(x)
We see that f(-4) = -8 in the first column of the table. I'm starting with the output and working my way backward to get the input. So we started with -8 and worked back to -4.
Then we move to the g(x) function to follow the same pattern: start with the output and move to the input. We start at -4 in the g(x) bubble and move to 3 in the x bubble.
In short, g(3) = -4
So,
f(g(x)) = f(g(3)) = f(-4) = -8
We see that x = 3 leads to f(g(x)) = -8
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the 70% so that we can use it with the 80 cups. To do this, convert the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left:
70% → 70.00 → 0.70 → 0.7
70% percent can be seen as 0.7. Multiply this by 80:

So, 70% of 80 is 56. Desmond sold 56 cups on the second Saturday.

Answer: a = 18
explanation:
2(a + 10) = 56 -> distribute the 2
2a + 20 = 56 -> subtract 20 from both sides
2a = 56 - 20
2a = 36 -> divide both sides by 2
a = 18
Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-3+2)/(-1+1) = -1/0 = undefined
The slope is undefined
