Question

Find the value of g(25) for the function below.

g(x) = 24(x − 39)

A.
-14
B.
561
C.
-336
D.
-911

Answer 1

C. -336

Explanation:

1. Substitute 25 for x as g(25) simply means x = 25

2. Now that the equation is g(x) = 24(25 - 39), solve what's within the parenthesis first due to PEMDAS or subtract 25 - 39.

3. Now that the equation is g(x) = 24(-14) due to subtracting 25 and 39, multiply 24 by -14 since there is no sign. And a parenthesis with a number in it besides a number with no parenthesis signifies multiplication.

4. Now the answer found is -336.
