In 2002, Takaru Kobyashi ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes! At that rate, and assuming that he wouldn't explode, how many dogs could Takaru eat in an hour? (Hint: how many minutes are in an hour?)

answer:

(-8,7)

explanation:

we know that  

f

(

−

3

)

=

7

therefore, if we wish to get the output as 7, in the function, we need to have our input to be -3.

looking at the function  

f

(

x

+

5

)

, what should the value of x be, such that the input in the function becomes 7?

we simply equate the terms,

x

+

5

=

−

3

x

=

−

8

thus, the point on the new function would be  

(

−

8

,

7

)

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
