Okay, just break it up so you're not overwhelming yourself or anything :)
So here, do it in steps-
Let's do 5(3 + t) first:
Distribute the 5, or in non-mathematical terms, just multiply 5 by 3 and t. This will give you 15 + 5t.
Now onto -3(t + 1):
Again, just multiply -3 by t and 1. This will come out to: -3t - 3.
*Note: the 3 is negative because it's "MINUS 3" in the original equation and remember that any number times a negative, if it isn't negative itself, will turn out to be negative.... (aka "-" x "-" = "+" | "+" x "+" = "+" | "-" x "+" = "-")*
ANYWAY
Now just put both answer together and you get:
15 + 5t -3t - 3. You can only add and minus the LIKETERMS (which are the things that are the same) - in this case, the liketerms are 15 and -3 ,,,, AND 5t and -3t.
15 - 3 = 12
5t - 3t = 2t
12 + 2t is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)
Your answers are wrong. the function f(x) is like a factory. you put in something ( a number) and it will spit you out something else (a different number depending on the function). your function, f (x)= -2x+1
you can put anything in that function. let say k.
f(x=k) = -2k+1. you just replace the x with k.
in this particular problem they way f(-2) ,f(0), f(1) and f(2).
here are the results
f(x=-2) = f(-2) = -2×(-2)+1 =5
f(x=0) = f(0) = -2×(0)+1 =1
f(x=1) = f(1) = -2×(1)+1 =-1
f(x=2) = f(2) = -2×(2)+1 =-3
Answer:
b

sorry if its wrong:/
The absolute value of -54 is 54.
So The answer is A
