If f(x) = 3x-2, then f (8) - f (-5) =

Step-by-step explanation:

= f (8) - f (-5)

= 3*8-2 -(3*-5-2)

= 22-(-15-2)

= 22+17

= 39

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
