I honestly have no idea how to answer this problem. It's not from a book, my teacher made it up.
f(x)=x+4
find (f(x))^2
I'd rather have an example problem like this one so I could learn from that instead of just having a correct answer. Thank you!

Describe what steps you would take to solve 8x+5=2x-7.
First we want to get the numbers with x's on one side of the equal sign and the numbers without x's on the other side of the equal sign within the rules of algebra. What ever you do to one side of the = sign to accomplish that you have to do to the other side.
8x+5=2x-7 Subtract 2x from both sides:
-2x+8x+5=-2x+2x-7
6x+5=0-7
6x+5=-7 Now subtract 5 from both sides:
6x+5-5=-7-5
6x+0=-12
6x=-12 The x is being multiplied by 6, the opposite of multiplying is dividing, so divide 6 on both sides:
6x/6=-12/6
1x=-2

To check your answer, substitute x=-2 into the original equation and see if both sides =.
8(-2)+5=2(-2)-7
-16+5=-4-7
-11=-11 We're right!!!

9. Sally bought three chocolate bars and a pack of gum and paid $1.75. Jake bought two chocolate bars and four packs of gum and paid $2.00. Find the cost of a chocolate bar and the cost of a pack of gum.
Let the price of the chocolate be:x
Let the price of the gum be:y
Then Sally's equation is:
3x+y=1.75
Jake's equation is:
2x+4y=2.00
Solve Sally's equation for y and substitute that into Jake's equation and solve for x:
3x+y=1.75
-3x+3x+y=1.75-3x
y=1.75-3x







Substitute that itnto Sally's equation for x and solve for y:




The chocolate cost x=$.50 and the gum cost y=$.25

16. Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
L1 through (–4, –7) and (1, 3)
L2 through (2, 6) and (4, 10)
A) Parallel
B) Perpendicular
C) Neither
If the lines are parallel their slopes (m)are equal.
If the lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative reciprocals (opposite signs and upside down).
If it's not either of those it's neither.
The formula for finding the slope (m) given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:
L1 has a slope of



L2 has a slope of


m1=m2, therefore the lines are parallel. (A)

A plane flies 500 miles with the wind and 340 miles against the wind in the same length of time. If the speed of the wind is 28mph, what is the speed of the plane in still air?
the distance formula is solve tihs for t and you have:
Both our t's are the same so we're going to let t=t or d/r with the wind =d/r against the wind.
Let the rate of the plane be:x
Then the rate with the wind is: x+28
And the rate against the wind is: x-28
The distance with the wind is:500
The distance against the wind is: 340
The problem to solve is:











The rate of the plane in still air is: 147 mph

Hi Sher,
In planning for a new item, a manufacturer assumes that the number of items produced x and the cost in dollars C of producing these items are related by a linear equation. Projections are that 100 items will cost $10,000 to produce and that 300 items will cost $22,000 to produce. Find the equation that relates C and x.
Let (x1,C1)=(100,10000) Notice, I'm letting C=y and using the formulas that you've already used.
Let (x2,C2)=(300,22000)
Find their rate, or slope using:

I'm not sure if I'm going about answering this algabraic question right or not. If you could please let me know whether or not I'm on the right track that would be greatly appreciated. The question is as follows:
The length of a rectangle is 10cm more than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 66cm. FInd the length and width.
This is what I'm doing to solve:
Let x = width
10+2x = length
2(length+width)= Perimeter
solving with this beginning:
2(x + (10+2x))= 66 <---You forgot your 2.
2(3x+10)=66
6x+20=66
6x+20-20=66-20
6x=46
6x/6=46/6
x=7.6667 cm
Width=7.6667 cm
length=10+2x=10+2(7.6667)=25.33333 cm

Solve and Check:
In baseball a player's batting average is the ratio of hits to the number of times he or she has batted. Thus, if the player has an average of .3000, it means he or she got 300 hits in 1000 at bats. In order to have an average of .300, how many hits would the batter have to get in 400 times at bat?
batting average=(hits)/(times batted)
your batting average =.300
times batted=400

When working with domains and ranges and a question asks you to use a mapping diagram to represent the relation, how do you do that?
I can't really show you on the computer, but I should be able to get you to visualize it.
Draw an tall oval and put all your x's or independent variables in it.
Then draw another tall oval and put all your y's or dependet values in it.
Draw arrows from the x's in the first oval to their corresponding y-values in the second oval,
That's a mapping diagram, functions will only have one arrow going out of every x value.

You're right, it is kind of ambiguous. Even I'm a little mushy brained now. I think that if they wanted you to add 1 to the fraction instead of making it part of the denominator, they would have used a conjunction like "and" or a comma as you suggested.
