Perform the requested operation or operations.
f(x) =(x-5)/8 g(x) = 8x + 5, find g(f(x)).
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
so i would put f into g so it would be \[8(\frac{ x-5 }{ 8 }) +5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would simplify to x + 10!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I mean x!
OpenStudy (reemii):
yes

i dont want the answer i want help .-.
but then if i multiply x-5/8 by 8 then i get (8x-40)/64 which simplifys back to x-5/8
OpenStudy (reemii):
your second "msg" was alright.
\(8 \times (x-5)/8 = (x-5)\).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry! You had it correct. I just simplified it. When you simplify the form you have the 8 in the denominator becomes a 1. The 8x simplifies to x and 40 simplifies to 5! Hope I helped!
OpenStudy (reemii):
in the last one, you make the mistake of multiplying the numerator AND the denominator by 8.
this is like doing nothing.

oh that makes sense so then it would be x-5+5 so x is the answer
