.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's definitely 74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(-4x+7)+5 where x=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GIL.ojei

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jumon233 thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the composition of two functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the question f(x) = 3x + 5 and g(x) = -4x + 7 fog?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now open the bracket?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so was my inital answer wrong then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um where are those numbers coming from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtitute g(X) into F(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so i'm going to assume my initial answer was wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i? You're not really say if I am or not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 3x + 5 and g(x) = -4x + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now put g(x) in f(x)..i.e 3(-4x+7) +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that's what I did above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now , you have put g(x) in to f(x) by substituting -4x+7 into where you have x in F(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that will give -12x+21+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you where given x= -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s0 , -12(-4) + 21+ 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I see that you're just showing me a different way to do it. You were unclear about that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48+21+5=74 .. you are done
