Question

40. If f(x) = -3x + 7 and g(x) = -7x+3, what is the value of f(-3) - g(3)?

Answer 1

34

Explanation:

f(x) = -3x + 7

f(-3) = -3(-3) + 7

= 9 + 7 (two negatives make a positive)

= 16

g(x) = -7x + 3

g(3) = -7(3) + 3

= -21 + 3

= -18

16 - (-18)

16 + 18 (two negatives make a positive

= 34

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

34

Explanation:

f(-3) = -3(-3) +7

f(-3) = 16

g(3) = -7(3) +3

g(3)= -18

16 -(-18) = 34
