Question

PLEASE HELP!!
Let g(x) = -5x + 2 I’m confused

Answer 1

g(-1) = 7

Explanation:

this is a function, when it says f(x) or g(x), whatever, and then gives, in this case g(-1), it wants you to substitute -1 into all the x values.

Therefore, our equation is g(-1)= -5 (-1) +2

this simplifies to g(-1)= 7

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

We need to plug in -1 for x. Here's what we get:

`-5(-1)+2` multiplying two negative numbers gives us a positive number

`5+2`

= 7
