You would move all terms that don’t contain x to the right side and solve. Answer : x= -3
Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5
Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it, he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.
For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.
For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.
For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.
