Question

The function t(x) = 4x -2 determines how many cans of vegetables a food truck needs to stock on board, where x is the number of shifts the crew is going to work in the truck. The crew uses c(t(x)) to find the amount of money to spend on vegetables. The function c(x) = x + 9. Solve for how much money must be spent when the crew is going to work 2 shifts.

Answer 1

Answer:

$t(x) = 4x - 2 \\ c(x) = x + 9 \\ c(t(x)) = (4x - 2) + 9 \\ = (4(2) - 2) + 9 \\ = 8 - 2 + 9 \\ = 6 + 9 = 15$
