So,

We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.

We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8

We'll just use A to represent both J and M.

S = M - 8

We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64

Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64

Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72

Divide both sides by 3
A = 24

Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24

Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16

Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.

So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16

If f(x) = - x + 4 and g(x) = x ^ 2 - 5 , then f(g(-2))=?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using your f(x) I want to show you how to plug in different things itnot he function.

f(x) = -x + 4

f(1) = -1 + 4 = 3

f(2) = -2 + 4 = 2

f(m) = -m + 4

f(abc) = -(abc) + 4

f(h(x)) = -h(x) + 4

Does that help?  what if you replaced h(x) with g(x)?  Of course you already have that x so you could make it a little simpler as well.  Let me know if you don't quite get it.
