Please do not just give the answers.

myininaya (myininaya):

@Xbox357 you have to put some effort into your problems.

myininaya (myininaya):

I will help you but you can't just give me the attitude that you don't know anything.

myininaya (myininaya):

Because I think you do.

myininaya (myininaya):

First you need to find g(-5). You are given g(x)=(x-3)/2

myininaya (myininaya):

replace the x with -5

myininaya (myininaya):

and tell me what you get for g(-5)

OpenStudy (gorv):

f(g(-5)) means first u have to calculate g(-5) which means in place of every x in g function put -5

OpenStudy (gorv):

calculate value of g(-5) now put this value if f and replace every x bi this value

My apologies, I normally try my best to learn a subject before I start looking for answers. I really have tried to learn it but I just don't understand it at all.
