Question 74313: can you help me with problem? it is from a multiple choice hand out.
f is a function defined by f(x)= -x/5 and
g is a funciton defined by g(x)= 7-3x then
4g-5f=
thanks for any help

When you say 4g you're saying 4*g(x) which means that you're going to multiply 4 by the output g(x). So if I plug in x=0 for g(x) I get

So 4*g(0)=4(7)=28.
Now we're going to do this in terms of x

So 4 times g(x) plus 5 times f(x) is 28 minus 11x. I hope this makes sense.
